Back from the World Premiere!!!

I'm fresh back from the West Coast where we had the world premiere of Keep it Runnin'!!
Right before we left we received an invite from San Diego Children's Film Festival Director, Dan Bennett, to have an extra screening in front of 220 kids on Thursday morning! So, I jumped on a plane and headed out a day early to see it screen as part of a field trip day!!

The kids and their teachers were awesome and very smart, asking all kinds of questions:
  • How can I become an animator?
  • How long did it take you to make the Cool Beans?
  • Where can I see the movie again?
  • Can I be in a Big Wheel Race?
The screening went off without a hitch and was housed in the lovely Museum of Photographic Arts in beautiful Balboa Park in downtown San Diego.

We then used the next few days to promote all over town, handing out Cool Beans buttons and fliers to anyone and everyone!

On Sunday we enjoyed the Official World Premiere and screened it in front of a very welcoming crowd. We passed out Cool Beans t-shirts, buttons and invites to join our fan club!
(Which you should join too! www.coolbeansfanclub.com)

We are really looking forward to using this piece to get kids excited about the Beans and build our fan club and see smiles on faces wherever it is shown!

More pictures to come soon!
