On May 24, 2012, I completed "Hanging Downtown" and started submitting it to film festivals. You can read the background on how and why the film was made here:
Hanging Downtown: Directed by Ted Fisher
Now, eight months later, the film ...
- has screened at two festivals
- is set to screen at two more
- awaits notification from seven fests
- was "not accepted" at four events
Let's look at the scorecard:
