Take Me Home Wins Best Music in a Film

Our film Take Me Home had a wonderful world premiere at the Nashville Film Festival. I have to say that NAFF is a great festival. The programmers and staff were really nice and accommodating. They had a nice tent with food and drinks daily, where we could relax and meet other filmmakers.

The cherry on top was that we won the Best Music in a Film in the main competition. That really made our day! Congratulations to our musicians Bootstraps and Jordan Beckett. You guys are truly amazing.

To check out Bootstraps music, go to www.bootstrapsmusic.com.

Here is a YouTube video of one of Bootstraps' songs in Take Me Home:

Sam and I leave for Dallas, TX this Wednesday for a screening on Thursday at the Angelika Film Center/Dallas. It's at 7:15p so if you are in the area, come on out!
