The IT Crowd returns with a second series.

One of the funniest new shows from last year, The IT Crowd started it's second series last week on Channel 4 in the UK.

The IT Crowd is a classic styled sitcom, set in the IT department of a large company, that tells the story of two stereotypical IT guys Roy and Moss.

The series is great, and as I have posted before, there is an American version of the show coming out, but it appears to be soo good that it got bumped from the fall line-up, and designated for mid-summer replacement status for next year.

The big bummer about the US show getting bumped back is that the US DVD release for series one of the British show has also been bumped back.

At least through the wonders of the internets us ex-IT guys can still watch a great show.

A+ for volume

Hey everyone, got an update on how "broken" fared at the Trinity Film Festival in Detroit this past weekend.

We nabbed not only the award for Best Drama, but also the award for Audience Favorite.

So a giant huzzah to the cast, crew and everyone that supported us!

I know that Derek (at the Trinity Fest) and David (at the Indie Gathering) did a lot of networking over the weekend and as the awards from both shows attest, they were getting a lot of positive feedback from festival goers and runners.

It looks like Derek and I will be doing another local TV interview tomorrow evening. Derek failed to tell me who it's for or when it airs, but press is press.

So to recap that's 2 festivals in 2 cities, 4 nominations with 3 wins in 1 day.

Not bad.

Broken hits the film fest scene

"broken" hit it's first two film festivals today.

One in Detroit, one in Cleveland.

I went to support the film at the Trinity Film Festival in Detroit along with Derek Justice (one of the two directors), Steve Hopton (one of the lead actors), Jayk Hanna (actor), and Adam Hill (actor/P.A.).

We had a pretty good turnout, and after the showing the cast and crew were interviewed for a local cable program.

Hopefully the showing at The Indie Gathering in Cleveland went as well or better. The other director, David DeLeon, was representing the film there. We won an award at that festival so that's already pretty sweet. We got best Crime/Drama feature film.

We won't know until tomorrow if we won anything at Trinity.

Keep your fingers crossed.
