Could there be anything more geeky than waiting at Tower Records in the middle of the night to buy your OWN movie? Probably not. But my “Hoodwinked” crew and I did it anyway. We toasted to its success at the Blue Yonder offices just a few hours before, and then went to stand in line… with a lot of other folks who were probably there for the new “Tool” CD.

Vicki and I make the purchase. Check out the cashier on the right. Man, he is impressed. I think he is just stunned that more than two people are buying a kids’ movie at midnight.

The whole gang at the Pasadena store: Friends, family, filmmakers. This was the first time we had seen the finished product, and in my completely unbiased opinion, it’s beautiful. The people at Genius Products did a very nice job. Fun menus, beautiful transfer, just a great product overall. I have to still remind myself that I create in such a mass-audience medium. It is still amazing to think that anyone, anywhere can go out and get our movie today.
