Level Up wins Audience Choice at West Chester Film Festival

Level Up received the Audience Choice Award at the 2010 West Chester Film Festival and was runner up for Best Film by a Pennsylvania Filmmaker. This was doubly thrilling to get such a warm reception, since our last short film won Best Comedy at the same festival last year!

Official Selection at West Chester Film Festival Again!

Level Up is complete

Level Up is finally complete! The film runs 22 minutes, and has an original score, thanks to the musical talents of Joe Moser.

I’m very excited with how Level Up came out. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, take a look.

Level Up is already an Official Selection at two film festivals, and is in consideration at several others. The West Chester Film Festival will be the first festival to screen Level Up, the weekend of April 23-25. If you are going to be in the Philly area, Save the Date!

I am also working to get a screening in a local Philly theater. Look for an update with screening times soon!
