Drama and the Third Show

Yes, we've always known that Under Jakob's Ladder is a drama. But we never planned to have all this drama surrounding the third screening of the movie at the Manhattan Film Festival on Sunday, July 24th. But, it's happened.

Here's a play-by-play:

MONDAY -- JULY 11TH...

19:37
Email arrives explaining that no venue could be found for a screening on Fri, July 29th. That idea has to be scrapped. Do we agree to a screening on Sun, July 24th instead?

TUESDAY -- JULY 12TH...

07:20
We send an email to the festival saying we're agreeable to the switch in dates to do a screening on Sunday.

10:43
Email arrives saying that we're good to go. The theatre at Symphony Space is booked and tickets are on sale.

10:55
We update the information on our website, blog, etc.

12:02
We begin to send out press releases.

21:00
We send out our newsletters to alert people of the change in date.

Now the drama begins...

WEDNESDAY -- JULY 13TH...

17:32
Email arrives telling us there's been a mix-up. They're trying to fix it on their end. They will let us know.

17:59
We email the festival telling them to keep us posted. And asking what will happen to the people who've already bought tickets.

18:01
We begin getting emails asking about what is happening to our screening? They can't get tickets. (We respond by telling them what we've been told.)

18:40
Email arrives from the festival saying that they are still waiting for confirmation calls. Also that Screenbooker will contact the people who already bought tickets. They apologize for the mix-up.

19:17
Another email from the festival arrives saying that they were making the venue switch to the Producers Club on W. 44th Street. Still waiting for confirmation on everything. Again, they apologize for the mix-up.

20:29
We send off an email asking if the time had been changed to 9:00 pm.

20:46
The festival confirms that the screening will be at 9:00 pm.

END OF DRAMA

We hope.
