It was a good night for a screening.

“Donna on Demand” screened tonight as part of the Temecula Valley International Film and Music Festival. We, unfortunately, had to screen from a DVD via a less than optimal video projector so the image was soft from the blowup, a bit too much contrast, somewhat washed out and was distorted a bit. That said, it looked better than expected and none of the shots look egregiously out of whack so it’s likely no one in the audience was the wiser.

Like every screening with a new audience, it was great to here them respond to the film. At the end, Corbin was pummeled by questions from the audience.

Can’t wait for what’s next.

2008 Sept 7:

Donna on Demand” will be screening at the Temecula Valley International Film & Music Festival. (That’s a mouthful!?) The festival runs from 17 – 21 September.

Our screening will be on Saturday the 20th.

Can’t wait to see it on the big screen with the cast, crew and an audience that knows little about the film.

“Donna” is a movie I shot last year. It was directed by Corbin Bernsen, who is also the lead actor, and also stars Adrienne Frantz, Susan Ruttan, Jeanne Cooper and Dan Lauria.
