youngcuts international film festival's grand prix

The whole reason for this trip that I refuse to stop blogging about was Greg PRIME was in the Youngcut's International Film Festival's Top 10 Grand Prix.

Over a thousand young filmmakers entered in this contest, and Greg PRIME was honored to be in the top 10 screening. 

The audience loved it. They laughed through out and laughed LOUDLY,  which was fantastic for me (I tend to get really nervous during a screening). Some even moaned at the abrupt cliff hanger telling them to view more at gregprime.com. That was particularly fantastic.

I would just like to thank Michael Ryan for accepting us into this festival, and everyone in Montreal who came out for the screening!  Also a special thanks to everyone who made Greg PRIME happen but could not be there

Greg PRIME Snaps Montreal's Gap

Despite a rough arrival in the great white north. (we drove 14 hours all night to find out our early check in was cancelled and slept the morning in the parking garage). Our brief time in Montreal seems like a dream. Everything about it was to good to be true, it ended in the blink of an eye, and all of a sudden i woke up in my bed. The Gouveneur Place Dupuis, was super accommodating, with the greatest view I have ever had the privilege to wake up to. 

The morning was spent exploring a city filled with friendly people, fries covered in gravy, and frozen maple syrup on a stick.  

Getting to reconnect with the friends that helped create Greg PRIME in the marvelous (and clean) city of Montreal, has burned a love and appreciation for this city that will never be lost.  It's bitter sweet to think that this trip will be one not likely toped. But if there had to be an experience in my life like no other, I will rest easy knowing that it was this. Thank you Matt, Joey, Kyle, and of course Brittany. And thank you Montreal.

Sorry for the mass of Photos!  But I JUST LOVED THIS TRIP. If your going to go to Montreal I recommend being invited by a film festival.

Montreal is breath taking.  They still haven't given mine back.

On 10/11/12 four of the HARDEST S's OF B's the United States had to offer crammed into a Honda CRV* and drove all night to Montreal. Heralding the first international screening of Greg PRIME at the Youngcuts International film festival.

Border patrol couldn't hold us. Sleep deprivation was powerless to stop us. The Popo didn't even slow us down. Except for the speeding ticket, we pretty much stuck to the speed limit after that. Never the less, we got to the border at sun up, and to the hotel Gouverneur Place Dupuis at 9 am. Just promptly enough to find out we did not have early check in. So we slept in our car for a few hours. * As known as The Great American Killdoser.
