the Sonnyboo Ledger

Many things happen in the world of Sonnyboo, and independent filmmaker Peter John Ross

======THE BIG NEWS=======

Several Sonnyboo short films will be at movie theatres on 5,000+ movie screens before theatrical releases. Starting next Friday, LICENSE EXAM, and a few weeks later, FILMMAKERS THE NEXT GENERATION, starring my nephews and my neice will be shown.

Sonnyboo favorites have been selected for presentation with SCREENVISION as "pre Show Entertainment" for several major movie chains. Shorts like License Exam will now play before theatrical releases to 5,000 screens including Loews Cineplex, Carmike Cinemas, Cinemark and Pacific Theaters. I want to make sure to give my heartfelt thanks to http://www.UNDERGROUNDFILM.org for their support of all things Boo. Putting movies online has done wonders for my movies. Anyone on the fence may want to reconsider putting his or her films on the Internet.

On the big screen, right before ALL the major Hollywood releases, and the run of this title will coincide with the release of STAR WARS III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. A movie I wrote & directed will play before "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" in the same theatre, in front of the same crowd. This is one of the most exciting things to ever happen to me in my life thus far.

That's great news, indeed. :)

Back in NZ, every film used to have short films playing before the main feature.

Not sure if it's still like that now, but it was a great way to catch a lot of locally-made material on the big screen.
 
These are played on a digital projector along with the ads before the show. Several of the theatre chains are switchign their still projectors to LCD digital with a laptop so they can do powerpoint type advertising instead of 35mm slide projectors.

Yeah, it's much nicer to see a short film, than those local slides for dentists. Congrats!
