After screening FSU at our final screening at the Capitol Theatre, we received a response that completely exceeded our expectations! Generally, the feeling that ours was very professional looking, quick paced, well written, funny, and visually strong! We got huge laughs, and walked away with a lot of positive feedback. It was very satisfying.
Since then, we’ve made a point of showing the episode to friends and family with no background in film or animation whatsoever, in the hopes that even the “layman” will respond well to it. To our surprise, even those without any knowledge of experimental film or art school LOVED IT! These people have requested copies to show to their friends, so we’ve been making DVDs and circulating them quite a bit as of late. It is going over better than we imagined.
We went ahead and licensed FSU with the Writers Guild of America to protect our asses, and completed our pitch bibles, in the form of school pamphlets. We are very happy with the end result – a lot of these bibles, we understand, are many pages in length, whereas we were able to include all the essentials onto one page, front and back! We have since submitted these pamphlets, along with widescreen copies of the DVD, to Adult Swim, and a number of our personal comedic heroes. We are thrilled at the outcome of the final product, and are very much looking forward to hearing back from these people one way or the other.
Fingers crossed, kiddies!
