Big Announcement (Wingmen Incorporated) + pictures!

Dear Whomever Is Bored Enough To Read This,


Giving our pitch in 2011

I am very pleased to announce that Wingmen Incorporated has been accepted into the 2013 Film-Com Financing & Distribution Market's New Project Expo! It takes place in Nashville, TN in mid April.   This will be our 2nd time at the event.  In 2011 we were selected to pitch The Truth About Average Guys & S.O.L.

So what is Film-Com you ask?  (just fucking ask it so I don't feel like a jackass).  I'm glad you asked!  It's a film and distribution market that puts filmmakers in direct contact with studio execs we wouldn't normally have access to. 



Partied on the top floor!

Past attendees include....Michael Uslan - Executive Producer of the Batman movies (yes, all the Batman movies, including the recent Dark Knight trilogy). Virgin (they did the movie Limitless, we actually met with them for about a half hour last time we were down there),  FOX has some TV & Film people down there, as does CBS.  Many more.  Seems to be growing every year.



See?  Party, top floor. You can trust me.

Our pitch (in 2011) went really well, and we had a blast partying with all the industry folk.  One guy from FOX even said to us "You guys have 'it'.  I have no idea why you aren't working on the 3rd floor at Paramount right now."   (that was nice of him to say, but it's not like you can go up to the front gate at Paramount and say "Some guy from FOX said we had 'it', can you please let us in and show us to our offices on the 3rd floor?")



The hotel we stayed at.

All in all it's a great opportunity for Wingmen Incorporated to go down there and hopefully sell the movie or get some sort of distribution deal where we don't have to sell our souls (and get nothing in return).  Or find someone that can get us on Netflix Instant Watch.  The Truth About Average Guys was on Netflix Instant Watch for 1 year  (3/9/10 through 3/9/11) and we were rated nearly 30,000 times.  So I don't know how many people watched it, just that about 30k watched it and rated the film (2.4 out of 5 star scale, most people loved it or thought it was the worst movie ever made, they were both right!)  I think if Wingmen Incorporated were on there it would have no trouble finding an audience.

So things are about to get crazy.  Submitting to our first two festivals very soon (they take place in April). Releasing everything  on March 1st (website, trailer, film).  And going to Nashville in mid-April to meet with some studio execs.  Right out of the gate we have the opportunity for something big to happen. Would be nice if something in my life were finally easy.  I don't want to sound like a whiner, b/c I know my life hasn't been as bad as some people's, but there seems to be a lot of things that happen to me where I'm left thinking "Well, that was unnecessary" Or "Does that happen to everyone or just me?"

Ready for easy!
