I am very excited and pleased to say that my short musical, Lobotomobile, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this September. Stay tuned for more details.
So we went out to Halifax and had a great time. I really appreciated how helpful and awesome everyone we met was. Here are some stills. The video should be finished in no time.
Park City, Utah, home of Sundance is 1882.65 miles from Toronto.
1 mile = 1$. Use the tab that says “Sponsor Me” on the right to play.
Nicole Hrinco- 100 miles
Michael McNally- 100 miles
Marina Mann- 40 miles
Amanda Graham- 50 miles
Zach Henige- 100 miles
Marjorie and Joe Albano- 50 miles

January 2nd we head to Halifax for 5 days to shoot a video for Wordburglar’s “Cream of Wheat”. I’ve never been to Halifax and I’m excited to check it out. Also excited to shoot 16mm black and white film.
You can check out Wordburglar here: http://www.wordburglar.com/
We should be done by February so keep your eyes out.

Thanks to the lovely ladies of Twig Design for everything. They are very talented and kind. www.twigdesign.ca
I’m incredibly excited to announce that The Funeral will screen as part of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. 83 short films chosen from 5,107. This is a huge honor and I’m very proud to be a part.
On another note, turns out it’s incredibly expensive to go to Sundance. You wouldn’t believe the amount of things that need paying for. I think most aspiring filmmakers must be rich. But I am not, and if you want to help sponsor my way to Sundance, follow the link on the right hand side of the page, where it says ‘Sponsor Me’, which will take you to a paypal option. Any help at all is appreciated immensely.
Thank you again to those who have already been incredibly generous in their continued support of me and this film, especially my parents.
It’s been a good week,

“The Funeral” is dark comedy about a woman in her early thirties who is meticulously planning her own funeral. Possibly due to a lack of other big days in her life so far, such as a wedding, this becomes her moment to shine, to show whom she really is. She selects a casket, poses for a professional portrait, critiques her friend’s eulogy delivery…etc. But will the rehearsal go off without a hitch? Will her flirtations with the young, shy, Funeral Director pan out? “The Funeral” is a funny and sometimes awkward look at one woman’s approach towards mortality.
Lobotomobile, The Musical! is shot and almost edited. Should be done in a few more weeks. In the meanwhile, here are some stills from the film.
Jill Barber and Ghettosocks are done and will be posted on the website very soon.
Also, we have started working on the music for Lobotomobile and will be shooting in September.
Life is good…
Sara
P.S. Thanks to the NFB for the nice little post:
