Hey everyone! Wanted to update you on the film festival this past weekend. Smuggler's Ransom played twice during the two days of the festival, and both screenings were jam packed with people! During the two screenings we had around 800 people total see Smuggler's! And the reaction during, and after the film was amazing! :)
We didn't win any awards, which really surprised us as we felt our production overall, and the acting in the film really stood out. The films that did win had a political or semi-political slant to them, so I kind of think it was a little agenda push for the festival, but who knows... Regardless we had a great festival.
Daniel was out there, and here are a few pictures! Enjoy.

Oh, yeah! There's a political agenda all right. It's called "promote Doug Phillips/Vision Forum's agenda" and your film is in the running, even if it's poorly scripted, poorly performed and poorly produced. Exceptional quality films that don't explicitly promote Doug Phillips' agenda won't be seriously considered, regardless of their production quality, and regardless of how wholesome and family friendly they are. The whole event is rigged. He picks the "judges" and the "judges" are all his personal friends who are all about the same agenda.
Lining Phillips' pockets at the expense of truth is part of the agenda. Then there are also some very misogynistic things that he promotes in the name of "family unity."
