72 musicians @ 2010 Revelation Perth International Film Festival

shareFaceTwitter



Revelation Perth International Film Festival

Things have been pretty quiet on the 72 musicians front lately, as I’ve been absolutely swamped with work on the software that powers this site (Topspin). But last night, as I was desperately tracking the film as it bounced around the globe via FedEx on its way to the 2010 Revelation Perth International Film Festival in Australia, I realized that its been exactly one year since I first put this site up and started giving away the soundtrack to the film (and hassling my coworkers with it).

Since then, the film screened at four great film festivals, had two great event screenings in Kansas City (should we do one more? recordBar? one in LA?) and has been downloaded by almost 1000 people. I even managed to make a couple of bucks, though the film is still solidly in the red. Next week when it screens in Australia might be the last time it plays on a big screen. That was a fast year. Damn.

But having its final screening at Revelation, and in a doc program loaded with badass music docs, is totally humbling. Let me be honest — I have no idea what our film is doing in this festival. Seriously. The program is loaded with films from Sundance, Toronto, Cannes… films made by Cory McAbee, Chris Rock & Jeff Stilson, Adrian Grenier, Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Freidman, E.E. Cassidy, Tom DeCillo... its amazing to have 72 musicians included in this incredible field. Thank you, Jack. It means a lot to me. Going out on top!

It’s also amazing to see Topspin represented across that festival field so thoroughly, too. Cory McAbee’s Stingray Sam, Jon Reiss’ Bomb It, Tom DeCillo’s When You’re Strange… all using the same Topspin software as 72 musicians. I really wish I could be there to talk about the software, and how it helps artists. If only Perth were just a little bit closer. Heh.

So all that brings me to this simple line: THANK YOU. Your support for the film, the software and me means an awful lot. It’s been a fun year.

Ok. That’s the news for now. More updates as I hear them from Australia.

Let’s hope that FedEx plane is on time.

Yes, recordBar would like to screen it. We actually never have, have we? Say when. Maybe during the Middle of the Map Festival we are working on for September. Call me!

Let’s do it. I should send you some posters, too.

Congrats Bob, Topspin and 72 Musicians! You all deserve it!

I screened the film for my music coop up here in Alaska and everybody really enjoyed it. We rented out a nonprofit art house theater and managed to cover expenses via donations! I still plan on showing it again soon when the coop becomes a bit more active.

Best of luck with everything. Thanks for making a great movie. I’m a huge fan.

Interesting blog post. The things i would like to make contributions about is that laptop memory must be purchased in case your computer still cannot cope with that which you do by using it. One can mount two RAM boards with 1GB each, as an illustration, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should make sure the manufacturer’s documentation for one’s PC to be certain what type of memory it can take.
