I’ve yet to have a moment to write of my wonderful fest experience in Port Townsend, but journalist R. O’Donnell has beaten me to the punch HERE. R. is an incredible writer-artist-wearer of many wonderful hats whom merited my “I’ll miss you most of all, Scarecrow” sad goodbye as I was ripped from this magical land over the rainbow.

Thanks to Heather Wixson at Dread Central for her awesome write up on all things Deviant. Check it out HERE. 
I am just off a redeye back from one of the most magical festival experiences ever. After 80 or so by now, trust me – that says a LOT. Every filmmaker MUST submit her films to the truly spectacular Port Townsend Film Festival. Read the rest of this entry »
Deviant Updates – Fests, Travels, New Projects!
September 18th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Bonjour, Mes Amis! I’m just back from French class and shortly off to ballet, but first a quick update on all things Deviant. It’s been an INSANELY busy summer with festival fun, writing, accolades, pre-production and teaching. Plus, tired of having no time for a personal life, I’ve just read FLOW by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and finally found the key to squeezing more hours into the day (hence the French and ballet). It’s a revelation! Seriously, read it. You will never waste another precious second. Read the rest of this entry »

Live from Comic-Con & Distribution!
July 24th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Wow! This may just be our best Comic-Con ever. It’s our fourth time to screen here and, admittedly, I came with mixed feelings. It’s such a madhouse and I have so much work piling up (not to mention pending jury duty next week – d’oh!). I wasn’t sure it was the best choice to come, but that changed the moment we arrived. Despite the hundred thousand+ people, it seemed every time I turned around, I ran into an old friend. Old connections were renewed and new connections felt like old friends in an instant. Oh, right – THIS is the magic of Comic-Con. DOLORES enjoyed her best screening yet Friday night. The most enthusiastic applause erupted on the last frame of the film and Q&A was too fun. Such great response from the crowd and we had lines of folks wanting to talk to us after. People were shocked by our budget, convinced it was far higher. We promoted filmmaking in the Midwest with heartfelt pride. Read the rest of this entry »
