My Baby Is All Grown Up

After four years of having my baby all to myself, I finally released "Standards of Ethical Conduct" into the world on Saturday night. First, let me thank all the friends and family who made the trip to see the movie. It was an unforgettable night because you were there.

Also, if it wasn't for Patrick Hackett and Tage Plantell, this movie wouldn't have been made nor been the film it is. They stuck with the project throughout, and helped me tremendously along the way. Thank you.

One more round of thanks goes to my wife Jenny, who was by my side from day 1, supporting me in hundreds of different ways. She helped in every way imaginable, from the big decisions on the story and the cut, to the details, such as how the bebovka cart should look and what the cast/crew was going to eat for lunch.

Back to the show. We had almost a full house and everyone seemed to enjoy the movie. Of course there is a selection bias in that those who might have hated the movie probably wouldn't have come up to me afterwards to tell me that.

There was plenty of laughter throughout the film, which was a nice contrast to the viewing of my first cut with Patrick, Tage and Cam, where I got to enjoy the sounds of crickets and pins dropping. Of course, I could be accused of cheating, as I had about half the crowd out for drinks beforehand at NcDevin's.

Here are some more pics.
