Okay, here it is. Finally. After a very long and dirty road: The Official DVD Image of PRAXIS for the US DVD release in January 2010 from Ariztical Entertainment. Pretty cool, eh?
What’s really cool is that the image was created by the Publicity and Advertising department of the distributor, and not by myself. So, it’s incredibly validating to have people working for the film to help promote it and get it out there. I also think that they did a fantastic job. so kudos to Ariztical.
Over the past few months, I’ve been reminded about some little tid-bits of interesting and/or funny film related stories that have happened along the way. I figured I’d try to mention a couple of them over the next few posts:
- People only want something, if someone else picks it up first. I was forewarned that the contract negotiations would take about four months, and they, in fact, did. but the end result was that we came to an agreement that both sides were cool with, and the film is moving forward in the process of distribution. after the contracts were all set, an international sales agent recently inquired about the foreign sales rights, and if they were available. Our current distributor already has established relations with certain foreign sales companies, and that was included in the contract, simply because a few months ago, they were the only ones interested. Only after the distro company was all set were other companies coming forward to show interest in the film (having heard that the original distributor was releasing it). funny how that works…
- anything is possible. this has become my new mantra. years ago, when i first set out to make my first feature, i had no idea what a rollercoaster ride it would be. but the end result, having gone through the entire process, anything is possible, as long as you stick to your guns and are willing to stay with your project to the bitter end. success comes to those who are willing to work their ass off for it.
So, yeah, the film is finally getting distribution. who knew?
