It’s finally here. The long awaited completion of our documentary film Redfish Can’t Jump happened this past week. The date has been set for January 21st for a couple months now and we had been working hard to wrap up shooting and begin editing this film to make sure we hit this deadline. We had a pre-screening January 20th for close friends and the crew. I finally finished editing at about 1:30am January 20th (the night before the first screening). I got a few hours of sleep, woke up at 5:30 and began the 2 hour trek to Wilmington. We had a photo shoot at Wrightsville Beach that morning for the Lumina News Paper. We spent the re
st of that day planning and setting up for the Premiere Night (21st).(Link to Story: http://luminanews.com/article.asp?aid=5701&iid=202&sud=30)
We had a great turnout for the show. We estimated it to be 300+ people. In fact, there were so many people we had to offer a second screening. Jason Andre opened the show with four songs and really got everyone fired up. (Jason wrote several of the songs exclusively for the film and a few others songs of his were used from his new album). Also, a huge thanks goes to the other musicians/bands that allowed their music to be a part of our film; Josh Garrels, Giants, and Unlearn.
We’ve gotten some great responses from the film so far and our team really appreciates everyone’s support. The store on our website is up and running now so please go and pre-order your DVD or buy yourself some swag at: www.redfishcantjump.com
