Autumn Gem Screening at D7 Conference

Standard

Rae and I are minutes away from the Autumn Gem screening at the D7 Conference at the Four Seasons Aviara in Carlsbad, California. We’re excited to show the film in glorious 1080p. The dual projectors produce an absolutely fabulous picture… it’s the film as it was meant to be seen!

D7 attendees all received a special DVD of the movie in their gift bag. Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher provided a special note on the DVD jacket. Big thanks to them for allowing us to screen our film at the conference!

Here are some photos from the screening at D7.

Screening at La Jolla Country Day School

Standard

Screening at La Jolla Country Day School

On May 22, we held a screening at Adam’s high school, La Jolla Country Day School. It was great to meet up with former classmates, teachers, and family friends. All in all, about 200 people were present for the documentary, which was shown in the Four Flowers Theater. Back when Adam was a student at LJCDS, the Four Flowers Theater did not exist! The school has undergone quite a transformation since his graduation in the early 90s.

Here are some photos from the Country Day Screening.

Autumn Gem DVD

Standard

As we prepare for our upcoming two-week trip down to San Diego, we’ve been hard at work creating first version of the AUTUMN GEM DVD. This version contains the movie, scene selections and a support page. The Special Edition with photos and commentary will come out later.

Here’s what the DVD will look like:

Up till this point, we’ve been burning one-off DVDs using the SuperDrive on our Macintosh. We weren’t going to do that for 700 DVDs, so we went with DiscMakers to handle this job. With these DVDs, we’ll be able to give a version that we’re happy with to prospective screening organizations, donors, friends, family, and cast and crew members.

Here’s a photo of the DVD jacket. For eco-purposes, we’re avoiding the jewel cases and going for a paper jacket:
