An Awesome Feeling…

Last Saturday night, March 1st, 2008 we screened the final cut of Dangerous Calling (minus score) for almost 400 people. And the audience LOVED it!!! We were met with a standing ovation as we took the stage afterwards. Lanny Donoho hosted the event and was hilarious, as usual. We had a brief Q & A with the four leads, Carrie Walrond, Jackie Prucha, Stephen Caudill, and Brandon O’Dell. The entire night was a huge success and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the film turned out. The crowd laughed and cheered in all the right spots.

It was an awesome feeling to have so many people appreciate the hard work we’ve put in over the last year. I leaned over to Josh during the credits as the crowd cheered and clapped and I said, “I want to do this for the rest of my life!” We are so blessed to have been able to make a film and doubly blessed that it is GOOD!

Before we screened the film, we showed a 3 minute highlight reel of some of our favorite films that we have made over the last 20 years. Click here to view that video.

Here are some pictures of the event. Click on them to see them larger.

(The two Daws Brothers and Josh’s wife, Becca. Becca helped plan the event and was instrumental in making it a success. The two on the right belong together.)

(Our Co-Producer, Heather Duffie, was due on Saturday with her third child but decided to have the baby a week early so she could make the screening! That is dedication. This was little Julian Duffie’s first movie screening.)

(This is the Daws Brothers with the host, Lanny Donoho. Some of you may recognize him from our podcasts.)

Thanks to all who attended and helped to make the night so special. Now that the film is finished, the next step is to sell it. It was a miracle that the film got completed. I’m hoping for another one!
