The film was great. Thanks for getting it there. I admired the film
makers determination to get to the truth of the mystery. In many ways,
the film will accomplish what the craved tile maker set out to do. It
was interested to see how connections are still made and work for
people. There is more to life than social networking.

Thank you to everyone who attended the private screening of the film
Saturday afternoon. We had a packed theater--maybe the free hot
popcorn and drinks helped with that! Is there any interest in
screening another radio-related film at next year's SWLfest? Perhaps
it could become a new 'fest tradition: a Saturday matinee radio movie
before dinner. (Sorry the sound and acoustics weren't better; we can
do better if there's a next time.)
The film makers told me they really enjoyed screening their film for
us, and they appreciated all your feedback. Any additional film
feedback posted to this list will be forwarded to them, so if you
didn't get a chance to talk with film makers, please feel free to make
comments here and I'll pass them along. Just a reminder, please don't
post the name of the film online in connection with this private
screening. The director told me that could hurt the film's success in
the film festival circuit and in later wider distribution.
I thought it was great fun seeing the SWLfest and its denizens
entertainingly portrayed on the silver screen ably helping complete
strangers solve a decades-old mystery. It's really a testament to our
relatively small group's knowledgeability and resourcefulness, and the
power of our radio community. If it wasn't so well documented in the
film, how everything played out would seem like implausible fiction!
As this film gets wider distribution (in theaters soon and on Netflix
and DVD this summer) a relatively large number of people will be
exposed to our obscure radio community and its annual gathering. So
we might have a bigger attendance for our 25th SWLfest, as well as
having more people interested in SWL'ing and (gasp!) pirate
broadcasting. Stranger things have happened!
Cheers,
