The Perfect Cappuccino



Amy Ferraris' movie, "The Perfect Cappuccino" is starting to play at film festivals around the midsection of the country. I haven't seen the final cut, but last I knew the DoubleShot played a pretty good role in the movie.

This Saturday the movie is playing at the Hardacre Film Festival in Tipton, Iowa. If you're in the area (or have a flexible travel schedule), go see the movie. And let me know how it is.

It's also playing at festivals in Houston, Kansas City, and Hot Springs Arkansas. I think.

Congrats to Amy. I'm hoping to get to one of the screenings. You should too.

I am definitely going to go to a screening. I also think it would be great to get it back to Tulsa for a screening, since DoubleShot, Brian, and Tulsa play a prominent role.

In that regard, it's worth noting that Amy has completed this film largely by her lonesome, without the backing of any big studios. She's done almost everything on this film herself and has put in a substantial amount of her own money and her time (which prevented her from working on other paying projects). There is a link on The Perfect Cappuccino movie website to donate, which could, among other things, help Amy travel to some locations where her film is being shown and re-coup other costs. Maybe we could even help fund a screening here in Tulsa. Given the exposure her film gives to Tulsa and to the DoubleShot, it'd be great if fans of the DoubleShot could help, too.

Circle Cinema plays independent movies and documentaries. Didn’t they show Black Gold? I’m not sure how they select their movies, but it seems like the kind of place that may take suggestions. If it shows in Hot Springs it would probably be at the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, 10/17 to 10/26. Their website is: http://www.hsdfi.org/

If it played at Circle, I would (with enough lead time) print some postcards to distribute around town to try and get people to come to the film. I wonder if Amy has (or could get) a postcard-sized design that could be customized for each screening. If not, I could whip something up. Not sure getting people to the screenings really helps Amy financially though. And the Circle Cinema seems so small. I wonder if there's a possibility it could be booked at a big theater, and maybe we could advertise it there and sell tickets and then maybe Ferraris could get a take of the gate. Don't know. Just thinking out loud. How about the drive-in? That would be cool.
