Showing The Film (To The People In The Film)

Hey Everybody,
Last week we took a quick trip to Montreal to visit Phil Fish and Renaud Bedard, the designer and programmer (respectively) of FEZ. With the film pretty much all but done, we are ready to start showing this thing that we’ve spent the last 18 months working on.
However, before we began to think public, or even casual, showings of the film. It was incredibly important that we personally show IGTM to the people directly involved in it. The thought process being: We were exceptionally privileged to capture some incredibly raw, emotional moments while filming this movie. Moments that (we think) make for a very powerful, very true and very inspiring film.
But on the flip side, these are moments of openness and relative vulnerability on the part of the people we were interviewing. We know how nerve-wrecking it can be to have shared so much with a film crew, and have no idea how its going to turn out. In the time between filming and the finished product, tons of scenarios naturally start to play out in your head. Worries can begin to build up.
We wanted to alleviate these worries as much, and as soon as possible by showing Edmund, Tommy, Jon and Phil the film before pretty much anyone else. Above all, we really wanted to avoid them hearing about the film’s content from someone else.
