JesusCat is available to purchase on DVD! We are so excited to be able to share our baby with you, including almost an hour of bonus footage! Exclamation points!! In my opinion, you know you've "made it" when you can tell someone a movie you created is Prime eligible on Amazon. So what are you waiting for? Go buy it! Buy it buy it buy it! ...Buy it! (and maybe leave a nice review?) P.S. If DVDs aren't your thing, it will be available for Digital Download soon! So, keep your eyes peeled for that announcement.
This past weekend, we were honored once again to be able to screen JesusCat-- this time at the Asians on Film Festival. After the screening we did a private interview with Scott Eriksson, programmer for the fest, and some short interviews on the red carpet as well. As soon as we have access to that footage, we'll be sure to send it your way! And the most exciting part? We won an award for best comedy feature, and our very own Elizabeth Yocam won best supporting actress for a feature! Not a bad day, eh? Thank you to everyone at Asians on Film for your support, and thank you for continuing to humor us by liking our posts and reading our updates :) JesusCat (or How I Accidentally Joined a Cult) will be screening at the Asians On Film Festival on February 15th, 2014. Asians On Film Festival is an extension of the website www.AsiansOnFilm.com, and their mission is to provide recognition to Asian/Pacific Islanders who are minorities in their film industries either as actors, actresses, writers, directors, producers, editors and/or those who work in other aspects of filmmaking. The festival will be running February 14-16. JesusCat will be screening on Saturday, February 15th at 5:00pm at JET Studios, 5126 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance here. A few months ago, it was our pleasure to be interviewed by Del Weston, creator of the Action on Film Festival (where JesusCat screened in August), for his show "Del Weston On Film". We talked about what it's like to be independent filmmakers, how JesusCat might offend, and ears...that's right, ears. Here is a short snippet taken from the full interview (hopefully we will have access to the full 30 minutes at some point). Thank you and happy new year from Team JesusCat! How do you make a NO BUDGET Film? You follow the charming and beautiful Julia Morizawa and Shaina Vorspan into the fray... JesusCat has received a lovely review on RogueCinema.com: "JesusCat (or How I Accidentally Joined a Cult) is a unique comedy, the love child of Julia Morizawa who plays the protagonist, Elle and Shaina Vorspan who plays the antagonist, Charlotte. With no actual director and no technical script, the film is almost entirely improvisational and was shot over the course of a year. And holy moly, is it good. "JesusCat is a wonderfully funny romp through the world of cults, social anxiety and the forming of new friendships. Considering the improvisational aspect of it and the low budget, it’s phenomenally well done. "This is a comedian's comedy, a comedy done right, and one movie you should all check out." Check out the full article. Go team go. Written by Shaina Vorspan Last week, we had the pleasure of screening at the Action on Film Festival in Monrovia, California (a lovely city near Pasadena with a quaint downtown area). Although we enjoyed our experience at the L.A. Comedy Fest, there's something even more special about screening in an actual movie theater! Julia and I sat at the top in our comfy seats, hoping not to throw up, as we prayed our film would play with no problems (because that's something you have intense nightmares about when you're screening at a festival). As soon as I heard "Hello world!" chime on the screen by Elise Lee Kim Park (you really have to make it to a screening so you know what I'm talking about), my hands unclenched and I sat back and enjoyed the experience. The sound was great, the picture was amazing, and we had many new audience members viewing that weren't at our premiere. The entire Action On experience made me feel lucky. The festival had an overwhelming feeling of support due to the hard work of Del Weston (the creator of AOF) and his team, not to mention the encouragement of other filmmakers (I only wish I had more time to see their projects!). Julia and I attended a few seminars and had the pleasure of networking with some great people, including Matthew Chandler and Craig Lewis who screened their hilarious pilot Don't Take this the Wrong Way in our block. Our feeling of support was furthered by our nominations for Best Comedy Feature, the Xristos Award, and our Movie Heroes Rising Star Award win (thank you Matt Sconce and Keith Walker)! It's always nice to feel validated, and the Action on Film Fest did just that. Thank you to everyone who made it to the screening, everyone at the festival, and all of our supporters! We are proud to announce that JesusCat (or How I Accidentally Joined a Cult) has been nominated for "Best Comedy - Feature" at the 2013 Action on Film International Film Festival.
