Long Time, No Talk

Hey guys -

I know it's been a while since I updated this, so here's a brief update:

1) The first screening in Augusta, GA was a huge success, we were overcapacity! They had to bring chairs into the lobby to accomadate the crowd. In fact, the folks at the Morris Museum told us that this was the largest showing for an event that they could remember. Thanks for your support!

2) We're still shooting. There are people who still want to do interviews and people we still want to join us. Why wouldn't we? The more the merrier, right? This week, we're off to Indiana to go interview rocker John "Cougar" Mellencamp...that's right...THE John Mellencamp. He directed and acted with Dub in the 1992 Columbia Pictures' film "Falling from Grace." In the upcoming weeks, we're hoping to line up a few more people that are in the works. Naturally, I'll post them here as they are confirmed, I wouldn't want to get anyone's hopes up. My emotions are toyed with enough, no need to get you guys involved...

3) We don't have a distributor yet, because frankly, we're not at the point where we're ready to present the project yet. The Taylor Family has seen the rough cut and we're encouraged by their response. When everything is worked out and everything is ready, trust me, the blog will be the first place you'll hear about it.

I certainly hope by this time next year, the world will be reminded of the fantastic career of Dub Taylor, a true story of inspiration for anyone from a small town who wanted to make it in the world.

Project Update

Hey guys, thanks for your continued support! We do read your emails and try to respond to each of them. For the meantime, we've got a few things in the pipeline, but one of our biggest pieces of news?

Next Friday, the 15th, we're interviewing John Mellencamp, who worked with Dub on the film "Falling from Grace," one of his last works. We'll be going to his studio in Indiana for the interview, and we can't be more thrilled. Everyone over at Hoffman Entertainment has been more than gracious and helpful to get this integral interview.

Additionally, we're looking at our distribution options now that we've had a little time to step away from the grind and observe the picture we have made. We're sending out letters, emails, and doing everything we can to help the project out.

If you work for a magazine, media outlet, or are in a position where you can help us get this project distributed, please message us! We'll be glad to do interviews, talk to your people, etc. to make this thing happen. It's been a true labor of love for us, and we really want to make sure the public gets the chance to be reminded of the career of Dub Taylor.

Fortunately, there is interest in the project, it's just a matter of grabbing the buzz.
