Welcoming Departure - The Next Scott Ballard Films Production

Between Night goes abroad!

Recent updates! Between Night is an Official Selection at the Tregor International Film Festival in France. Unfortunately, I will not be attending, but my press materials will be and I hope for a great turnout at the fest.

In other news, Youngbull (Production company of me, Matt Lawrence and Dave Rosenblum) has wrapped the documentary on the 2009 World Beard and Mustache Competition. Stay tuned for more developments as Matt cuts the film into fine form. It was quite an adventure which included a drive to Anchorage from Portland - and back!

And finally, Shoebox Redhead (Directed by Matt Lawrence and shot by me) has been recently invited to the Philadelphia Film Festival and the Long Island Film and Video Festival. It just played this last weekend at the Hoboken Film Festival and will play next week at the New Jersey International film festival. It is also featured in an article on the festival in the New York Times:

Thanks for your interest. Right now, Between Night, is only viewable at festivals - once it's festival life is over, it will be available online or soon at Trilogy Video Store in Portland. Other works can be seen on my site ScottBallardFilms.com -
Cheers!

So did you end up going back to SCCC for graphic design? We had the same class together (remember we made that shitty PSA about corporate news for IMC) and I was wondering what happened to you. Good to see that you are filmmaking.

Holy shit, John! Good to hear from you! I ended up going to Grad school at Boston University and working in Portland now - Man, we had no idea what we were doing back then, did we? At least we shot for the stars - How 'bout you, what are you up to now?
Cheers!
