Last week we had the cast and crew screening of 'Mum & Dad' - the first cinema outing for the film. It was at the Charlotte Street Hotel in Soho, where they have a small 67 seat screening room in the basement. It was a good turn out, and though I was nervous as hell beforehand it seemed to go well (at least nobody came up afterwards and punched me in the face, which always counts as a positive in my book)
There were representatives from a couple of festivals there, both of whom seemed to enjoy the film - it's just a question of waiting to see if they want to screen it.
It was great meeting up with the cast and crew again, although even after the screening I still couldn't properly relax - it's weird - seeing the film with an audience has the effect of making it seem new again, but at the same time it feels really exposing - like walking out on stage without any trousers on.
It feels good to get the screening behind us, although it's far from the end of the process. Now we've got to sell the thing...
