JesusCat Takes Over Monrovia

Written by Shaina Vorspan

Last week, we had the pleasure of screening at the Action on Film Festival in Monrovia, California (a lovely city near Pasadena with a quaint downtown area).  Although we enjoyed our experience at the L.A. Comedy Fest, there's something even more special about screening in an actual movie theater!  Julia and I sat at the top in our comfy seats, hoping not to throw up, as we prayed our film would play with no problems (because that's something you have intense nightmares about when you're screening at a festival).

As soon as I heard "Hello world!" chime on the screen by Elise Lee Kim Park (you really have to make it to a screening so you know what I'm talking about), my hands unclenched and I sat back and enjoyed the experience.  The sound was great, the picture was amazing, and we had many new audience members viewing that weren't at our premiere.

The entire Action On experience made me feel lucky.  The festival had an overwhelming feeling of support due to the hard work of Del Weston (the creator of AOF) and his team, not to mention the encouragement of other filmmakers (I only wish I had more time to see their projects!).  Julia and I attended a few seminars and had the pleasure of networking with some great people, including Matthew Chandler and Craig Lewis who screened their hilarious pilot Don't Take this the Wrong Way in our block.

Our feeling of support was furthered by our nominations for Best Comedy Feature, the Xristos Award, and our Movie Heroes Rising Star Award win (thank you Matt Sconce and Keith Walker)!  It's always nice to feel validated, and the Action on Film Fest did just that.

Thank you to everyone who made it to the screening, everyone at the festival, and all of our supporters!
