I hope it works into my schedule, and I can get tickets.

And I know you want me to really stalk Kim and take a billion pictures of her.

And I'll also have to find a decent hotel rate, and transportation.

TFF 2012: Spotlight
Struck By Lightning
Directed by Brian Dannelly, written by Chris Colfer
(USA) – World Premiere, Narrative

Even being killed by a bolt of lightning won’t keep Carson Phillips quiet. A hyper-ambitious and outspoken high school senior in a small-minded town, Carson (Glee’s Chris Colfer) narrates his own funeral and the last few weeks of his life through a series of sarcastic flashbacks in this upbeat and energetic comedy from Saved! director Brian Dannelly. With Allison Janney, Dermot Mulroney, and Drive’s Christina Hendricks.

Somehow I got the feeling that they already have a distribution deal, maybe not set in stone, but Brian seems very confident about how it'll be released. Tribeca will just help generate more buzz and critical acclaim, and I'm so excited, especially given the number of films that were submitted and the number that were selected.

Good luck in getting tickets for everyone who's planning to go!

Chris Gorman, who is now in Covert Affairs is one of my favorite people. He was in Ryan Murphy's POPULAR many years ago.

I'll bet Fantastica's house that there are several offers on the table already. It's just a matter of picking the one that is going to be best for them. Chris' name is big enough to make the distributors interested.

I would think that the reaction by both critics and fans at Tribeca will help determine whether it gets a limited release in small "artsy" theatres or more widespread release in the big chains.

Wow, I didn't realize that there are only 22 films and 12 documentaries in the festival.

Hopefully it will have many screenings so lots of people can see it.

I bet availability is very limited. There are only 2 screening rooms in teh theater. so I am not sure how many screenings each movie will get. SBL already has quite some buzz and Chris has enough fans who want to see it early, so it will be in "hot demand" category I think. I am really praying hard for tickets to be available by April 10. thank god I have Amex card.

I am so happy for Chris and the rest of the cast and crew of this film.

This is excellent amazing news.

Of course I'm jealous of the people that will get to go. But I am also happy for them to get this opportunity to see this movie.

If it does get or already have a world wide release, I think Australia could get it. And I will definitely making sure I get the first tickets that come out in my suburb.

If I am lucky enough to get a ticket to see hte movie I promise I will write a three sentence review that won't spoil anything!

If was me I think my sentences would be so long they would be like paragraphs.

I hope the security is tight so no-one does something stupid and try to record it.

But with the past screenings I'm sure they are prepared so that it won't happen.

Critics make me nervous, but I am interested in how they will view it.

I just updated my moto after seeing ColferInspired's moto.

me wickedy wicked.

we need critics reviews. fan reviews mean nothing. critics will write reviews on all major newspapers, online, magazines, radio, even tv. Yes they can be just as bias and opinionated, but their voices have a lot of weight in public's eyes. I am looking forward to see them. I hope hte majority of them is positive.

I love it.

Thing is I am bad procrastinater, so I am trying to be a doer, but it is really hard.

^ me too! therefore I simply don't do it. why forcing yourself to be someone you are not?

now don't listen to me, because I only give wicked advice.

seems like they have a plan, to expand...

only one screening? forget about getting tickets then. The theater is normal sized and not huge. it will fill out in a matter of days if not weeks and definitely before the end of March.

Now I feel even worse then those who are not living in NY. If I live in NY and can't go, it's really upsetting.

I wonder if I shoudl plunge down the 250 bucks just to see this one movie, and give way the rest of the tickets to my son who lives in the city few blocks away from the theater.

I live a continent away, so I'm already resigned to the fact that I won't be able to watch the premiere of SBL. It does look like it won't be easy to get tickets if the screening of each movie is so limited at the film festival.

Dang. I really hope that Brian Dannelly's optimistic view is not unfounded and that SBL will get shown Down Under at some point in the future.

I hope that tumblr will remain respectful of Chris's hard work and not release too many spoiler-y reviews after the premiere. All these advanced screenings of SBL are really rubbing it in for those of us who are not so lucky

I hope most people at the screening are film critics and potential distributors rather than loud and obnoxious teen fans who may give non-fans bad reactions. I would hate to see fans take away all the seats that movie critics would have, becaues the more these pros see the movie the more they can write about it, generating more real buzz. I am pretty confident that most critics will give generally positive reviews.
