The Flyover Film Festival kicks off tonight with Another Earth and my Q&A after, and the Louisville media has been absolutely fantastic in helping promote both the screening and the festival overall. Both WAVE & WBKI hosted me on TV this morning, and I’ll be on Terry Meiners‘ show this afternoon.

Looking forward to a fun weekend, and a great festival!
A few years ago some friends and I started Flyover Film Festival in Louisville, KY, and the third annual one is coming up this June 10-12.
Ryan Daly, our festival director, has assembled a fantastic line-up for this year. The details are here.
And Another Earth (trailer here), which doesn’t open in NY & LA until July 22 (the release after that is still t.b.d.), is opening the festival. It plays at 7pm on Friday, June 10, at the KY Center for the Arts.
This may be the only chance to see it in Louisville on the big screen. I’m just sayin’..
It’s that time of year again: Louisville Flyover Film Festival is set for June 10-12. In anticipation of it, I did an interview about the festival and Another Earth, which is playing at the festival, on Louisville.com. The link is here.
The film fest I co-founded, Louisville’s Flyover Film Fest, is now taking submissions via withoutabox.com for this June: flyoverfilmfestival.com
What a difference a week makes. Brit Marling and Mike Cahill have rocketed off in the indie film world, and Another Earth has been shown nothing but love up at Sundance.
We premiered on Monday in a 1200-seat theatre to a standing ovation (very rare at Sundance, I’m told), and to the right is my (blurry) view from stage during the post-Q&A.
Then within the next few days, Fox Searchlight bought the film and will release it theatrically both in the U.S. and internationally. To the right is the poster that was used at the fest…
Finally, last night at the awards ceremony, Another Earth was given both the Sloan Prize for Science and a Special Jury Prize for Drama.
And all from such humble beginnings…
Many great reviews are all over the web, so I’ll just include one, from the NYT, here.
Finally, one of my final memories: snow and a (relatively) early hour produce the unusual sight of somewhat empty streets at this year’s festival..
