Two nights away from the premiere, the big show.

What’s going to happen?
I know about 80 people, however, the other 200 folks coming, I’ve never met and I have no history with. And with over 20 distributors screening the movie, we will able to predict that night the fate of the movie.
I’d prefer 412 strangers in attendance to give distributors an honest screening of how the movie will play to an audience and as a first time filmmaker I want to know that night.
Ain't one for waiting, kind of waited 20 years, so excuse me if I want to open up Christmas gift early.

How much is at stake here?
Only four people have watched this cut of the film and we’ve opted on rolling the dice to see how it all plays out without any smaller screenings prior.
And the press reviews aren’t coming until after the premiere, so we are flying blind.

So how will the screening go?
When I close my eyes all I can hear are the words “Lord Vader Rise.”
