OFFICIAL SELECTION at WONDERCON presented by COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL for my documentary 'A FILM BY ABIGAIL'! [UPDATED WITH SCHEDULE]

5/3/2014

OFFICIAL SELECTION
WONDERCON ANAHEIM INT. CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL
PRESENTED BY COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL

UPDATE: The schedule for WonderCon Anaheim International Children's Film Festival has been released online. The film will screen on Saturday April 19th in Program 5 at 12:15pm.

A FILM BY ABIGAIL will be in the official selection at the WonderCon Anaheim International Children's Film Festival 2014 at WONDERCON 2014, the sister event to the globally renowned SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL! "Comic-Con" is an incredibly exciting event to be associated with, as it has become a huge destination for new films, panels and announcements; possibly the biggest for genre film and TV in the entire world. The inclusion in this WonderCon film festival programme comes from the umbrella of the LA International Children's Film Festival and their desire to keep pushing the film at their associated events. Take a look at the slideshow below for examples of the event; as I'm writing this I've just seen how big the scale of it is... a LOT of people and some famous faces too!

If you're new to the film, my short documentary is about my young sister discussing a film idea after receiving a toy camera for Christmas. It was recently a part of the official selection in LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2014, screening at the ICA. So far it has also screened at places such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Epiphany School in New York and BAFTA London (where it premiered), as well as countries such as France (where it was an award nominee) and Estonia. Please check out the A FILM BY ABIGAIL page if you'd like to know see its complete achievements and some writing about the work.

Look out for at least three more film festival announcements for the film coming in the next few weeks/months. Once details and confirmations are absolutely clarified for me, I'll be revealing them ASAP! It appears that this film is not set to run out of steam on the circuit just yet moving into 2014!

Thanks for reading and please follow me (I'll follow you back!) on Twitter @PaulEVernon if you're on there and we'll connect or whatever, I'm friendly!

OFFICIAL SELECTION AT
9th LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL
CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL

My short documentary A FILM BY ABIGAIL is a part of the Official Selection for the 9th LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL and screens Saturday 14th of December... tomorrow! The film opens 'PROGRAM C: Short films for ages 5 and older' at 1pm comprised of "films from around the world" (full schedule here) at the spectacular LA COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART in the Brown Auditorium. Current exhibitions include David Hockney, Agnes Varda and Alexander Calder. It's an honour to have my work shown (as briefly as it'll be!) in such an amazing place that displays well-known contemporary art and where lovingly curated retrospectives take place; such as the recent Stanley Kubrick one that was in the summer.

As well as the screening, there's been a few bonuses due to the film's selection. The first is that it's production image, described as "striking" by the festival press team, has been chosen to feature on the LACMA website representing it's film block and also for the entire festival on the NexGenLACMA Facebook page (see both below!). Also, I've been requested to submit to the 'Academy Qualifying" event the NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL that takes place in March 2014. It's the biggest of it's kind in North America and a well established event mentioned in publications such as Variety and The New York Times (see the NYICFF About page). The jury even includes world class filmmaker Gus Van Sant! They were forwarded the film by the LA festival and I've been told they can't wait to show the committee my film! Hopefully, and maybe, good news from this aspect soon. Even if not selected for NYICFF, I feel very flattered to be approached!

A FILM BY ABIGAIL is in the Official Selection for the 11th LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL in January and around this time my interview with the GORILLA FILM MAGAZINE will be published, where I talk about the film in-depth. Thanks for reading, "liking" and sharing the blog wherever you see it - as a developing filmmaker it's invaluable to have your support!
