What's the best way to bounce back emotionally after a day like yesterday?
If I were a character in Zoolander, I'd go shopping. Being neither a male model nor a lover of retail establishments, I've two more apt suggestions:
- Never underestimate your friends and the machinima community as a whole. The outpouring of support (as well as enthusiasm over the prospect of a virtual event more of you can attend) has been phenomenal. Never believe anyone who tries to tell you there is no more machinima community. You're alive and kicking. (Presently, you're kicking some bloke at Arcadia, thank you very much.)
- Get yourself on television. Apology is put front and center in this Moviestorm coverage on ITV from the other day. (Matt Kelland and the back of Johnnie Ingram's head managed to also get themselves featured on the BBC this week as well! Bravo, Short Fuze!)
Getting some unsolicited festival invitations is my bonus third suggestion.
- The Lucca Film Festival (Italy) will be screening Male Restroom Etiquette, What I Love About Xmas, and Bodysnatchers.
- The Holland Animation Film Festival (The Netherlands) will be screening Male Restroom Etiquette.
- The 22nd Braunschweig International Film Festival (Germany) will be screening Male Restroom Etiquette.
So yes, I'm feeling much better today, thank you.
More about the little film that could, tomorrow.

Say, Phil, will you attend any of this festivals in Europe? If you will, I can come so we can drink beer or two?
@Tom - Unfortunately I won't be able to travel over there this year, but one day I will take you up on that offer, count on it!
Me, too. Congrats on your screenings. That should give you a little boost after the
debacle of last week. And I can second your note about the support and enthusiasm we've been
getting after yesterday's announcement. Very welcome, indeed.
Rock on, Phil. I'd much rather here about one of my films in a festival than go shopping any day!
