Ecclesiastes has been accepted to play at this year’s INDY Awards Film Festival. Here is an excerpt from the acceptance letter:

The INDYS will take place September 29 from 6-10 PM at the Laikin
Auditorium which is located in the Jewish Community Center in
Indianapolis. The address is 6701 Hoover Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46260.
There is a chance the festival time could shift from 6-10 to 7-11 PM,
but I will be sure to inform you if this is the case.

We hope you’ll be able to join us on the 29th. Two cash prizes will be
awarded: a Jury Award and an Audience Award. So tell your friends and
family to come and support your efforts! Admission is $8 for the general
public or $5 for Film Society members. If someone joins or renews their
IFS membership at the event, they’ll get in to the festival for free.

I’m moving to San Diego in about 2 hours in hopes of furthering my film making career and getting closer to the industry.  Hopefully all goes well and I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress out there.  I’d like to thank everyone at home in Indiana that helped me get to where I am at now and I am thankful that I’ve had such a solid foundation to build my life/career upon.  Good things to come!
