The Intermission Man Festival Version
We've retooled our short film 'The Intermission Man' with some changes that we think make it better for the festival scene. Come take a look and tell us what you think. http://www.laughingraven.org/LRPTheater/ScreeningRoom/tabid/167/VideoId/38/The-Intermission-Man-Festival-Version.aspx It will be screening at the Action On Film International Film Festival in Pasadena, CA at the end of July (25th thru the 31st). If you are in the area, swing by and catch the screening! BTW - It is screening along with our good friend Russ Emanuel's first feature film 'PJ' (Scott produced the 'behind the scenes' featurette for the DVD release.) Even more reason to come and hang at the fest with us!

New life for The Intermission Man
Not only is our short film 'The Intermission Man' climbing the rankings at Ourstage.com, but we just found out that it will be screening at this years Action on Film International Film Festival.

Online fests
Just a quick reminder that LRP's 'Shakespeare's Dead' is now listed at both OurStage.com and Si-Mi.com. Be sure to visit both sites soon (there are deadlines for both ) and vote/judge for SD. In particular, the Si-Mi.com site will give us a chance to screen at this years HollyShorts festival. It continues to screen, along with 'The Intermission Man', at Triggerstreet.com. Stay tuned for more amazing things to come!

Our New Forum!
After much self deliberation, we decided to change the forum to the native DNN one. What does this mean? You won't have to type 2 different usernames in when visiting both sites, but it also means that all of the old posts are gone unless Scott can genius a way to migrate the data.
