elijah_findsFrom the producer:
"Wow! What an amazing night. It was the last night and went fantastically well. The audience was great - perhaps 125 people - and they pretty much all stayed for the Q & A. The festival did a great job with the subtitles because, near as I can tell, everything translated really well as a film-going experience for the people there. The first question [SPOILER] about whether or not Dixon and/or Rifkin were there to leave or say goodbye to one another at the end [/SPOILER] erupted into general debate among the audience. My French is pretty poor, but they were quite intent in their discussion. Anyway, it was a great crowd, who all stayed until the theater management kicked us out.
Lyon is a fantastically beautiful city, the festival folks were great, ran a tight ship, and were very fun to hang out with. What a great way to end this portion of the festival tour!
On to Williamstown, MA and Savannah, GA."
None of the cast were expected to be there, but the producer and director were. As luck would have it, at the last moment director Bryan Gunnar Cole wasn't able to be there.
No one from the cast or crew attended the Day Zero screening at the Austin Film Festival on October 13, but the festival organizers reported it went well. The producer is hoping to get a first-hand report.
