I was the Cinematographer for director Matt Schutt. You do so much work that just disappears out there. It feels good to see something that you and a lot of other talented people worked very hard on get an audience around the country and even the world. Matt did a great job with this video.

Here’s the latest four festivals.

# 17. We won Best Music Video at the 15 Minutes of Fame film festival in
Palm Bay, Florida, where we screened on July 10.
# 18. We make our Iowa debut at the Hardacre Film Festival in Tipton, Iowa
on August 6.
# 19. The Landlocked Film Festival in Iowa City on August 28 and 29.
# 20. The Native-American-themed Southern Winds Film Festival in Shawnee,
Oklahoma is September 10-11.

Well, Matt submitted the video to a slew of festivals and darnitt all if a couple don’t already wanna show it.

First up is the Fearless Film Festival in Fortworth Texas on April 8th to the 11th. A couple of my really good friends from Alaska live in Fortworth so Paul and Anna, you better go see it!

Then is the Swansea Film Festival in Wales UK. I don’t know anyone there but the festival is hosted by Catherine Zeta Jones so maybe you want to take the trip?

I love festivals and I’m so proud of Matts work and happy that this little video is getting a real audience outside of YouTube. Matt was a VERY prepared yet low key director and Kelly’s song is awesome. It was seriously one of the best experiences I’ve had shooting for someone, ever. Makes me all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it…

All I ever wanted to do is work with cool people and make cools stuff. Mission accomplished with “Let Me In”.
