For this film, we’ve had some pretty memorable screenings so far. A quick laundry list of the most important ones include:
Each one was equal parts scary and rewarding for various reasons. For the record, the most emotional were showing the people in the film - nothing can prep you for the very odd process of presenting your version of someone’s life back to them. Showing the guys in the film was one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever experienced in our lives.
The Sundance premiere was insanely stressful and crazy, but in a different way. Sundance is a machine, a wonderful machine. But it’s this frenzied torrent of activity with many moving parts. The whole process is so busy, so intense that nerves tend to steel themselves almost as a coping mechanism.
Sitting watching the Sundance showing, we both became extremely self-conscious of the film. Every audience fidget, throat clearing or - God forbid - bathroom break was immediately interpreted as indictment of a seriously crappy movie. It’s very easy to get in an odd head space at your film’s premiere. It was really strange and confusing. Every other Sundance showing was pure jouy, but we’ve never felt more like a vulnerable artist than at the Sundance premiere.
The Winnipeg Show: Three days after we returned from our Sundance debut, we thought it’d be fun to do a small little hometown friend’s n’ family preview show. That small show ended up growing into two completely, utterly sold out shows of 320 people each on February 3rd.

Hey Everyone, we’re due for a bit of an IGTM update.
Disclaimer: The post below is a bit of a solid wall of good news. It's a bit silly. We want to share, but we also acknowledge that it's a crazy amount of good stuff and can come off as a bit much. There's also been equal amounts of struggle, stress and sleeplessness, but that'll be another post. We're pretty damn proud of this little film and feel like sharing the positive, so here we go....
Lisanne and I were talking the other day and realized that, at some point, our lives crossed some line somewhere and started resembling a fever dream of sort. Like, if you were to talk to versions of ourselves twelve months ago and described what is currently going on with the film - Sundance, HBO, the overall reception - it would have sounded like the ramblings of a crazy, delirious person. We wouldn’t have believed you. Not at all. But here we are about to write a post talking about those exact things. The last month has truly been insane.

Here's a couple of videos of us chatting up IGTM.
CBC's Q with Jian Ghmoeshi: The first is one that we were super excited to do. We were lucky enough to be invited to be a guest on CBC's Q. 'Q' is a big deal up in Canada. To give you an idea - it kind of occupies the same Canadian mind-space as NPR's 'This Amercian Life' (though the two are completely different).
Being invited on 'Q' was a wonderful full circle moment for Lisanne and I. Early in the production of this film, we were sitting around talking about what 'type' of film we wanted to make. We started saying in a (half) joking manner:
"Let's make a smart movie"
"Yeah, like the kind of movies they talk about on Q!"
"Yeah, let's make a movie that'll get us on 'Q'!"
"Totally! We'll make a smart 'Q' movie!"
Seriously. That is, almost verbatim, what we said 14-15 months ago. We were being silly, but also serious. Fast Forward to Salt Lake City and there we were. On stage in front of a live theater audience, chatting up the movie with Jian Ghomeshi (nicest dude in the world btw). And preceeding Margaret Atwood (another Canadian icon) to boot!
So here we are talking about our smart 'Q' movie on 'Q'....
Salt Lake City Q & A: Someone was kind enough to film and post the Q & A from our third IGTM screening. I liked this one quite a bit, Tommy gave some great answers. Fun fact about this one: As we were doing this, the HBO news hit creating a bit of a Twitter storm. So if you were wondering where we were during the intial wave of crazy that happened, we were here...
Big Thanks to 'the69lover69' (giggles) for posting that!
