TCK Update
I've gotten a few questions about what's going on with The Cassidy Kids lately, thanks to stories and blog-posts like this, this and this. Apparently, the news about the film airing on the Independent Film Channel was released a bit prematurely, but it seems very likely this will happen in the next few months, followed by some kind of DVD release, courtesy of the new Austin-based company B-Side Entertainment or some other entity. I think the film will be available via digital down-load, too. But, again, details are somewhat sketchy as of now. I'll post more info as I know it.
I'm of course, thrilled that the film will finally get to be seen again, rather than languishing on the shelf as it has been. But, as I think the first couple paragraphs of the Austin Chronicle article on Burnt Orange made clear, my feelings are somewhat bittersweet at the fate of the film. A cable/DVD release is great, much more than many other films get, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed that all the time and toil put into the film by myself and hundreds of others didn't add up to more than that.
It's been a personal and professional challenge to deal with that disappointment over the last year and a half. Making another short and writing a couple scripts in that time has definitely helped, but not enough. I think the only thing that will really help me "move on" is making another feature. Like, this year. I'm moving toward that now but quickly enough. It's hard to get back on the horse.
Another thing that has helped for sure, is getting DP out there in the world. People continue to discover it, including Playgirl Magazine!
