Show

[prog]

If I wanted to find a show-type venue to submit Jmac's Arcade to, maybe after I make a handful more, where should I look? I mean, a venue with a live audience, gathered into a place, with the intent to see short subjects. One of those.

The idea occurred to me this evening as I showed the two that I have made so far to a friend tonight. I had not displayed them (at least not in their final versions) in-person before, and was very pleased at the result. I think they could go over quite well. Please tell me, also, if I am horribly mistaken.

I wonder if people who would enjoy them have been giving them a pass because they don't care about video games. I've been downplaying the fact that they're not actually about the video games - or at least not so much as they seem - and starting to think that I've been overdoing it.

(Don't confuse this with a troll for feedback; I expect the common case to be that it was watched and did not happen to move the watcher to comment further. That's all right.)

have you thought about the screening room at the coolidge corner theatre?

the folks who run lumen eclipse have hosted an arcade night at river gods, so they might also be a good resource for you.

I had not considered the screening room. Thanks. Now if only they had a webpage with actual information on it... fooey. Guess I'll have to actually call and ask a human about it.

I am fairly sure that this is in fact the very venue I was thinking of. Unless I'm mistaken, I saw the They Might be Giants movie there, and had the life-changing experience of discovering Eric Fensler's G.I. Joe PSA redubs. And a film about Creative Commons. I think cthulhia drove me to all of these things, years ago, and at the time I had no idea where we were. But I think that's the place.
