Still waiting on the schedule for Landlocked, and Nick has once again literally made himself sick working on the DVD. (If you're scoring at home, that's strep, mono, flu, and the common cold. Next up: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.)

By the way, Joe and Melissa's wedding rocked. Seth's speech killed. And "Wonderful Tonight" was the first song played during the dollar dance. Were you in the money?

We made the Landlocked Film Festival! Yay. The folks at Iowa City's International Film Festival notified us recently of Zopp's acceptance, and we received official selection notification this week. We couldn't be more pleased. As it turns out, it makes our premiere weekend in Chippewa Falls all the more action-packed because it's the same weekend. Debuting in two cities on two screens is a lot closer to a 3,500-screen opening weekend than we could've imagined.

The Landlocked Film Fest takes place from August 21st through the 24th, and schedules for Zopp screenings there should be announced very soon. We'll have them for you here, of course, but here's a link to the Landlocked web site. Iowa Rock City!



Meanwhile, things are brewing on the premiere front. If you're in Chippewa Falls, you might begin to see some flyers for our opening around town. An exclusive premiere screening for our actors and crew will happen on Thursday, August 21st, and then Micon opens to the public on August 22nd. We have five showings a day for seven days, so find a way to be there and find out what this mess is all about.

Stay tuned as updates are going to be a little more frequent over the next month. Our webmaster (me) has also been on DVD-creating duty, so, you know, lots on the china. But we'll make it happen, and the DVD release is also up around the bend too.

Big doings in Wut Wut Alma don't usually happen without being preceded by a wedding. Joe and his sweetheart, Melissa, tie the noose this weekend. Seth is the best man. Fun is in store. And odds on "Wonderful Tonight" being played during the dollar dance? Even.

We blast off in 42 days.

There was a nice article about our premiere and the post-production progress of Zopp in the Chippewa Herald today. Check out Rod Stetzer's article here!
