OMGzorz.

Hey everybody!

It's my first post here, and I'm so excited that I get to be the one to break the awesome news.

Not only were we accepted to the Route 66 Film Festival, we actually WON an award.  That's right; The Transient has won the "Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Award."

The festival is going to be September 20-21 at the Hoogland Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Springfield, and The Transient will be screening Sunday night around 6 PM.  More information about the festival can be found at the Route 66 Film Festival website and ticketing information can be found at the Hoogland Center website.

We really hope to have a big crowd of supporters, and I think we'll try to caravan from Champaign, so contact Chris or I if you'd like to share a ride from Champaign to Springfield that weekend.

We'll be having a Champaign premiere of the movie soon, and we'll definitely be showing it at both the Illini Union Late Nighter and the first Illinites on campus.  Will have more info on further showings soon!

Thanks for your continued support...I'm still not sure how the heck this movie got made, and somehow we've won an award.  We could not have done this without our cast, crew, and supporters.  THANKS!
