REGRET keeps racking up the festivals!

I admit, when the pandemic hit, I thought that was it for festival season for us. Here was Ripe Figs LLC’s most ambitious project: the fourth adaptation of a Kate Chopin story, the longest running time, the biggest cast, the crowdfunded budget, the most locations, the extended production schedule. And here we were handed an anti-climactic festival season, in which no one could attend screenings, no fellow filmmakers would approach us after seeing it to discuss the joys and challenges of indie filmmaking, and we couldn’t enjoy the hard work of others.

But people are finding a way, though the in person connection to other filmmakers is what I miss the most. We are still celebrating the work, still sharing what we enjoy, and still hoping that the day will come soon when we can watch each other’s films.

For now, I am happy to say that Regret has been officially selected for another festival - the Phoenix Short Film Festival’s monthly awards, which puts Regret in the running for it’s annual event and awards, as well. So maybe there will be more news soon!
