I am one day removed from seeing ATB @ Pacha NYC - an amazing show indeed (and according to Andre himself, per his Twitter, the gig of his life). I'm already counting down until his next show, whenever that may be (though it was almost exactly one year between shows at Pacha in '08 and '09 so we'll see).

Now onto some updates from Fleet Street.

The Brain Damage Films release of Head Case is still pending. Not sure when that's happening, but I've been in contact with them and it's coming soon. Stay tuned.

I am working on a Limited Edition DVD set featuring 2 alternate versions of Head Case (appropriately titled "Head Case: The Alternate Cuts"), one being the 2008 Festival Cut and the other being the original 2007 World Premiere Cut. Both versions are far different from the official BDF release. The DVD will be a two-disc set containing commentaries recorded specifically for the 2008 Festival Cut, during the film festival run.

This DVD set will only be available through Fleet Street Films.

This is not to say that you shouldn't buy the official Brain Damage Films release (you should, trust me...the livelihood of a filmmaker depends on residuals), but for you few die-hards out there, the Head Case: The Alternate Cuts DVD set will be a nice addition to your collection.

(Head Case will also be a part of the all-new "The Vault" series - a more extensive behind-the-scenes look at the making of various Fleet Street Films productions - more on that later)

A sneak preview screening of The Ritual is coming within the next couple of months - prior to the official world premiere @ the Newark Film Festival in September. Details pending. The tentative date for the premiere is Friday, 9/11 - though I still need to get final confirmation.

I realize much of this news is tentative or contingent upon final comfirmation, but as soon as I get more news, you'll know about it!

One final note: I tend to work better behind the camera rather than in front of that - and that extends to print and radio (I'd much rather be interviewed in print or on the radio rather than on TV) - so I am thinking about possibly starting the official Anthony Spadaccini podcast. It really depends on whether or not I have the time and energy to devote to weekly "episodes" (or whatever you call them) - however multiple people keep telling me to start one, so we'll see. Seems like we're always connected, doesn't it?

Bedtime. More later. G'nite.
