Tribeca Premiere

By Tony Vallone story, screenplay, associate producer

Our premiere was on April 29th with a packed theater. So packed infact that a bunch of us didn't even get into the theater. The cast and crew arrived only a few minutes before the film was supposed to start and then everyone got held up on the red carpet with photographers and interviews.



Tribeca oversold our premiere by about 20 tickets so by the time we all got to the theater every seat was taken. It was also 30 minutes after the film was supposed to start so there wasn't much time for us to figure out the problem and how to fix it. Some people got really upset that they had to miss the premiere screening but for us we were just glad that the theater was full and were more worried about what people would think.

About halfway through the film we were able to sneak in the the theater and see how it was going. The theater was having a great time and it was the first time we had seen the film projected in HD before and it looked amazing. After the film there was a 20 minute Q/A which allowed for Tom Arnold to take the mic and basically talk for 20 minutes about the experience of working on the film. Not enough people got to ask questions but Tom did a great job at entertaining everyone and praising all our efforts so we didn't mind.



After the premiere we headed accross the street to a local bar where we had the VIP lounge area reserved and an open bar. The film ended at about 6pm and we ended up staying in the bar for a few hours until our open bar dried up and we jumped around the city from bar to bar. By about 1 in the morning most people gave up because we had been celebrating for 6 hours.
