Sad but Approved for all ages

Sometimes post production on a film including distribution takes more time then I as a producer would like however it is a very important part of the process.Recently before Christmas we received some Great news and some not so great news.
First the not so great news. The distributor whom had been awaiting our finished film passed away.
His name is Greg Rutkowski http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/greg-rutkowski-AMC-movie-theaters-397984 He and I had met through a mutual friend several years ago following my first feature The Goal and have remained friends ever since.He was excited about Spirit of Love and what he believed he could do with our film.I'm very sad to say he will be missed.He was always available to me by phone to discuss the entertainment business.On my trip to LA in November after picking up our film from Barry our wonderful editor I met Greg for breakfast at Joan's Cafe for breakfast on my way to the airport home. He was the very first person in the industry to see the film.Very sad but unfortunately what that means is I will have to start looking at other distribution opportunities.

Meanwhile Spirit of Love http://spiritoflovemovie.com recently was awarded the Dove Foundation seal of approval and Four Doves.

The Dove Foundation has been advocating and approving family films for 20 years. The Dove Foundation says, “This inspirational and remarkable story just may have you cheering by movie's end! We are pleased to award the film our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for all ages. See this one soon and it just may give you a spark when you most need one!"

I'm very excited to receive this rating from this organization.This means no potential audience member will be left out.This rating combined with open captions is a tremendous opportunity for Spirit of Love to reach the masses.We have spent a great deal of time getting the captions completed in order to stay on track with our plan.

So now during the remaining time left in 2012 I prepare screeners and press packages which will be sent out to different film festivals and distributors for consideration.This process is all part of the over all marketing plan,however different
