Tonight at 8 Eastern, Oh Crappy Day will have its second screening at the 16th annual Orlando Film Festival. Our first screening took place on Friday, October 29. The festival itself will run through Thursday, November 4.
Our New York Premiere!
Over the weekend, Oh Crappy Day screened at the Syracuse International Film Festival. We had a great time there, thanks to the festival organizers and the friendly city of Syracuse. Best of all, we got to hang with two special colleagues: Ned Phillips, our talented Director of Photography, and Robbo Fitzgibbons, a DJ/Composer/Producer who drove all the way from New York City to support our film!

What a Night!
Oh Crappy Day premiered last night at the Raleigh Film & Art Festival, and we couldn’t have asked for a better kickoff!
For the closing night of the festival, we filled every seat — and then some. The audience was engaged and enthusiastic, responding after the screening with lots of lively comments and questions. We were thrilled to see many of our cast and crew members, including three of our leads: Jordan Estes, who plays Jared; Jess Barbour, who plays Katie; and Loosha Jones, who plays Marcus.
On top of everything else, we won the award for Best Feature! Thanks to the festival organizers for honoring our film and making us feel so welcome.
