Wingmen Incorporated Website + other stuff

Dear Whoever Is Bored Enough To Read This,

Here's where we stand at the moment.  Ken is putting the finishing touches on the final cut of the movie.  Still trying to finalize the music before we submit to our first two film festivals (LA Comedy Festival, and Cedar Rapids).   Both festivals are in April, so time is ticking on submitting.  I have until February 8th to submit to Cedar Rapids.  Not sure what the deadline is for LA Comedy, but Ken has that one covered since it's in his neck of the woods. 

While he's been chugging away on the final cut, I have been working on the Wingmen Incorporated website.  A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this site called Bandzoogle.com. It's a website design & hosting site that is mainly for bands, but some independent filmmakers use it as well.  I really love how easy it is to use as well as how professional it looks. I also love all the little extra features they let you have.  They let you have a mailing list signup & give you free newsletter templates.  So there may be a Wingmen Incorporated newsletter (if we feel like it & there is a demand for it). 

Another feature I really like is the ability to do a podcast.  I've always wanted to do one (well not always, b/c in 1985 I didn't want to do one mainly b/c they didn't exist yet, but always as in ever since 2011 when I was a guest on a local podcast called AudioRod).  So that is definitely something I would be interested in doing.  Would need to buy some equipment to do that, but I'm fine with that.  Bandzoogle also keeps track of your website stats so we can know how many visitors we have as well as what city, state, and country they are from.   There will also be a forum on the site where people can discuss the films or ask us any questions they may have about low/no budget filmmaking. 

We'll also be working on the trailer in the not too distant future, as well as getting some screeners out to a few critics so hopefully we'll have some glowing reviews and some pretty sweet quotes to put in the trailer & on the DVD cover.

Can't wait for March 1st!  I think this little indie comedy is going to open a lot of doors for us.
