The Golden Trailer Awards

Okay, okay, here’s what happened. After a knock down, drag out karaoke war with some old friends the night before, I headed to Hollywood with my hippest casuals, a ticket to the El Capitan theater, 45 minutes of sleep after 4 beers, and “Secret Agent Man” ringing in my ears. Southwest Air was no help, as the “direct flight” made 3 stops on the way.

Once there, I met a lot of fun, interesting trailer editors from around the world, then settled into my seat. Joined by Kristin, our attorney Irwin Wittlin, and actress and producer Kathy Garver, I was a bit disappointed to see that they had re-edited our trailer in a – how shall I say it – very interesting way, with the punchline first! We received a good bit of applause and laughter (in the right places), but alas, we didn’t take home the award.

The winning entry was certainly deserving – very ambitious – but I still think our movie looked like the most interesting in our category. Regardless, it was still a thrill to be nominated, to hear the disembodied woman’s voice on the PA softly introduce our clip, “Soupernatural – Candlejump Productions”, and to see those gorgeous images on the big screen.

Thanks to everyone for all their interest, support and best wishes. On to the raising of the money!!! --cn

Soupernatural Trailer up for Golden Trailer Award

The trailer for Soupernatural has been nominated for a Golden Trailer Award in the category "Best Trailer, No Movie." According to Golden Trailer organizers, "Movie trailers play an increasingly important role in entertaining us and helping us determine where to spend our leisure time. The best trailers are works of art in their own right, expertly blending elements of cinema and advertising.

The Golden Trailer Awards recognize the creative people who make movie trailers, and the best--and occasionally the worst--examples of their unique art. The Trailer Awards are a yearly open competition where all are invited to submit their work."

TRAILER ADDED TO SITE

Really, this entry should be predated as of December, but it's still worth mentioning. After months of work, we were able to finish our trailer, which has now been added to this site. A lot of very talented and dedicated people contributed their time, equipment, energy, expertise, and especially patience, and for that we would like to sincerely thank them all. Without their help - obviously - this could never have happened. Thanks again, everybody. I think we all had fun, and let's hope to do it again on a larger scale very soon. -cn
