Free Range Film Festival (Wrenshall, MN) is an experience like no other. Every year the festival takes place in a 100 year old red barn and the whole event it's the definition of effortless cool, swag bag with fresh veggies included. Also, lets not forget the sun hat and the "filmmaker's only" lounge in the rafters with couches! Silicone Soul got to screen in the Barn on June 30th and it was wonderful!
See it for yourself:
The two SILICONE SOUL screenings (April 21, April 22) at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival have been extra special because most of the team members (Miles Painter- editor, Charlie McCarron - composer, Jesse Marks - sound mix, Beth Peloff & John Akre - animation) that worked on the documentary live there including our director, Melody Gilbert. Even our cinematographer, Igor Myakotin, who is based in NYC flew in for the screenings. The spirits were high, the screenings SOLD out, the Q&A's were fantastic, the audience receptive and open minded, director Melody Gilbert gave a TV interview for KARE 11 (see it bellow) and we were included in the BEST OF FEST list, getting the chance to screen SILICONE SOUL one more time (May 2). In short, we had the greatest time!
We are very excited to announce that Silicone Soul has been invited to premiere at Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival in Greece! The screening will be on the opening weekend of the festival on March 3rd or 4th (more info soon). We are thrilled to be able to share this doc with an international audience at such an amazing festival. Director Melody Gilbert will be there during the premiere.
A huge thank you goes to the amazing Silicone Soul backers, supporters, production team and everyone who rooted and still does for our documentary!
More new about screenings and regional premieres very soon! Follow us on FB, IG and Twitter for more info and pics.
See you in Thessaloniki?!
THANK YOU to each and every one of you beautiful people who contributed to the campaign to help us finish Silicone Soul (see list below)! Today (Nov 29, 2017) we reached 100% of our goal, so we get to keep all the funds raised. Whew! I'm grateful and humbled for your support, especially during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday (what was I thinking?) --you were still there for me and I appreciate it so much!
We still have three days left in the campaign, and we will continue to accept donations, especially to support the animators who have been working more than we expected. If you know anyone who would like to contribute, send them here: bit.ly/silicone-soul-doc. There's still time to get in the credits or become an Executive Producer :).
Yours in Docs, Melody
