The long-awaited virtual screening of Nowhere Normal is coming!
Please join us for a virtual screening of Nowhere Normal at 2 pm on May 28, 2023.
The screening will include not only Nowhere Normal, but all the short films of our producer, Heather Morrow.
Janine Waddell, the director of our second short film Reasons I Hate Being Single, and producer screenwriter Heather, will attend!
The screening is free, though we’ll be accepting generous donations towards Reasons.
Mark your calendars now.
Tomorrow is the day! Starting at 6 pm, and going straight through to 6 pm on March 25, 2023, YOU can tell ME how to write something brand new!
One more important ‘rule’ – post your prompts on the YouTube chat, and donate here on the Take a Bite website. Technology is complicated.
Also: should you want to help make our film Reasons I Hate Being Single and buy Easter chocolate, tomorrow is also your last day to order.
Vroom vroom.
Our Write-a-thon will be in exactly two weeks! Here are some ground rules for the event:
-I will write a new, full-length play, in 24 hours. The live stream will begin at 6 pm on Friday, March 24, 2023, and will end at 6 pm on Saturday, March 25, 2023. The live stream will be embedded in takeabite.ca , and donations must come via that website.
-Viewers will see a split-screen: on one side, me getting more tired and frantic: on the other side, the play as it’s being written!
-Here is the play’s basic plot:
“3 very different people meet online at the start of the pandemic. They connect, but as the pandemic wears on, their individual lives change, which alters their relationship.”
-At 6 pm on March 24, YOU will give me names for the 3 characters! The first 3 donors will get to provide one name each. Submissions will be via the website.
-Every 60 minutes, I will check prompts and donor amounts. Whoever has donated the most in that 60-minute period will get their prompt used next! I must use the prompt, and I must make it make sense.
-At the end of the 24 hours, whoever has donated the highest amount will pick the name for the villain of Reasons I Hate Being Single !
I will have until March 31, 2023 to fix typos, and then the resulting play will be entered into the Alberta Playwriting Competition.
We’d like to give a huge thank-you to Fat Franks for agreeing to be part of Reasons I Hate Being Single ! Audiences will see a Fat Franks hot dog cart in the film, and they’ll also provide on-set catering for the cast and crew.
Please visit one of their restaurants or outside in the spring and summer!
Thank you to everyone who’s supported us, and the Easter Bunny so far.
Please note: the campaign email address is MINE: hmorrow@takeabite.ca . Contact screenwriter Heather with any questions or for information about the film!
You have 2 weeks left to get your Easter chocolate bought here, AND support our next film at the same time, as long as you live in Edmonton. Deadline to order is March 24.
Maybe you know someone in Edmonton who’s not into artsy films…but is VERY into chocolate.
Point them our way for Easter candy, and YOU get to come to our virtual screening of Nowhere Normal.
The website asks you to register as a supporter / customer, and then you can click on Marketplace (the Easter catalogue) or form. Purdy’s doesn’t keep your information – we called them and checked!
TWO THINGS about our Easter chocolate fundraiser:
1. The website to order chocolate is very confusing. Some supporters have said that the amount of information required makes it look like THEY’RE setting up a campaign! The site asks for addresses and such in case WE need to deliver to YOU on April 7, and it asks you to create a password in case you want to come back and order more. If you’re still not sure about buying off the Purdy’s website, we have an alternative event coming up.
2. Take a Bite’s short film Nowhere Normal isn’t available to the general public yet, because it’s still on the festival circuit.
However, any supporters of our first fundraiser will receive an invitation to our upcoming virtual screening…for FREE.
So click here to get your Easter shopping done, and get VIP access to Nowhere Normal early!
Your Monday will be made a tiny bit better by an event announcement tomorrow.
In the meantime, get your Easter candy shopping done early, and support our next short film, Reasons I Hate Being Single, but clicking here.
