Great news!  Parachute was just accepted to the Rhode Island International Film Festival.  As Providence, where the festival takes place, is where Paul and Lucas’ collaboration began, just going there would be enough!  But as it turns out, according to Chris Gore (author of the leading book on film festivals) RIIFF is “One of the top 10 Short Film Festivals and Top 10 International Film Festivals in the United States. The RIIFF provides the kind of intimate festival experience that will change your life. Don’t miss it. “

So that’s pretty good.  It also happens to be one of the 1% of all the film festivals in the world that has been designated as a qualifying festival for the Short Films category for the Annual Academy Awards.

No big deal.
