Shannon:



As always, thanks for turning out such terrific promotional pieces. I was a
little concerned that the picture of the man creating a ball might be a little
difficult for the audience to understand, but since the picture also includes
the title of the film that should not be a problem and does show the lengths
that individuals will go to create a ball to play with. You did leave Bob
Stewart and Lea Girardin’s names off our list of team or Steering Committee
members. We don’t usually refer to ourselves as a Steering Committee, but I
don’t know if anyone has a particular preference for some other designation.
The final sentence of the BOUNCE blurb probably needs to be revised to give it
a verb to actually make it a sentence. Perhaps “David McLain [is planning] to
attend…” would work. The only other thing I noticed and don’t know if it will
look different on the final printing is that there are certain letters in the
text for the films in the brochure that look like it was hand typed with
different strike force. This seems to happen with the “s” most frequently, but
other letters seem to show up darker, too. I assume the font in the summaries
that you created as a separate document is the same as the brochure text, but
they don’t seem to have those same differences. Is there anything that can be
done about that?

Hi there, Team CinEx,

Attached are a draft poster, a draft program (legal sized, black and white,
mailer format), and a word doc with the film descriptions edited down to fit
the space available. The only real content edit that I made was re: TAXI,
adding in a clause about Panahi’s house arrest (in addition to the jail
sentence). I am totally open to any and all feedback on all of this! Edits to
the word doc are welcome, but keep in mind that we don’t have room for more
content.

On another front, I was in touch with Steve Wurtzler about the
HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT intro and he suggested that we speak with visiting professor
Kyle Stevens who is actually teaching a course on Hitchcock this spring, so
that looks promising. I will keep you posted. Steve also gave me a good lead
for TAXI that I will also follow up on.

I think that’s it for now. I hope to spend next week confirming
sponsors/advertisers, so I am hoping we can have actually print materials in
hand on Monday, December 7. In the meantime, please provide your feedback on
the promo materials at your earliest convenience, by the end of the day on
Thursday, December 3 at the latest.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Best,

Shannon
