FEBRUARY 2002: Another festival triumph! LIVING IN MISSOURI played at the San Francisco Indiefest, where it had two SF screenings followed by a showing in Berkeley. Cast and crew were in attendance for the first screening, where an enthusiastic crowd hung around for a brief Q&A with the filmmakers. As an added bonus, audience members were treated to FREE COTTON CANDY provided by "The Real Ryan & Todd"! |

APRIL 2002:
At long last, LIVING IN MISSOURI made its Missouri Festival Premiere!
Boosted by a great review in the Kansas City Star, the screening
had a tremendous turnout. And for once, the film was shown in an
actual movie theater instead of a make-shift "screening room" where most
digital films get sent off to.
Cast & Crew participated
in a lively Q&A session before the film, and were awarded a "Special
Achievement Award" at the closing ceremonies.

JUNE 2002:
Return to the RagTag Cinemacafe,
the World's Greatest Movie Theater! Located in the heart of downtown
Columbia, Missouri, the RagTag was home to our first "preview" screening
of a rough cut back in December 2000. Back then, dozens of intrepid
moviegoers braved a blizzard for the chance to get a peek at the movie,
risking life and limb and facing some of the worst icy road conditions
in recent history. This time around, the weather was perfect, so
they were turning people away in droves.
Hopefully, LIVING IN MISSOURI will return to screen there again one day. In the meantime, if you live in Missouri and love great movies, do yourself a favor and visit the RagTag! |

JULY 2002:
After nearly getting into the L.A. Film Festival in 2000, we were happy
to finally get a chance to show the film in Los Angeles. Strangely,
we did it as part of a New York festival: The New York International
Independent Film & Video Festival in Los Angeles (or NYIIF&VinLA
for short).
WINNER: "Independent
Achievement Award (Feature)" Living In Missouri

AUGUST 2002: Our East Coast premiere! After playing up and down the West Coast and the Middle West, LIVING IN MISSOURI played in the Rhode Island International Film Festival to a small but appreciative audience. |
|
SEPTEMBER 2002:
LIVING IN MISSOURI makes its New York premiere! The 2nd Annual Guerilla
Film & Video festival, now renamed the Indievision Film Festival, took
place in the heart of Tribeca.
MISSOURI played in the Tribeca Grand Hotel's state-of-the-art screening room, and attendence was sparse to say the least. Which was a shame, because the film has honestly never looked or sounded better... |
 |
NOVEMBER 2002: At long last, our St. Louis premiere! Boosted by a rave review by Post Dispatch film critic Joe Williams, the film received an excellent turnout as part of this presigious film series. |
