Cash Bash

I have been working a lot more on the cyber terror exhibit for the National Spy Museum. The time frame is very short since the opening will occur on September 11th this year in DC. I am planning to attend the opening since Baltimore is so close. It will be very exciting to see some of the work I’ve done actually being shown to the public.

This weekend one of the films Northern Light made, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, had a premier at the Woods Hole Film Festival which is right near where my family lives so I was able to attend. It was really cool seeing the whole film because so far I have only read reviews about it and placed quotes in press kits. Its sort of funny that I have been doing promotion for the film without actually having seen it. Sometimes when I am working on any kind of marketing for a film, they will have me watch it first but usually that is just for the shorter ones. I feel better about promoting the film now that I have seen it and liked it.

After the screening, there was a party or “Cash Bash” at a nearby restaurant/bar called the Captain Kidd. They had a bluegrass type band playing Johnny Cash songs and free food and drinks. A lot of people from the screening came as well as many other filmmakers and people involved in the festival. The restaurant was a perfect setting for the party—it sort of looks like the inside of an old pirate ship with huge masts and whale bones on the walls, and seats made of old wooden beer kegs. The party lasted until about 12:30, and I have to admit, by the end of the night some of my bosses had clearly had a few drinks. It was very entertaining to see.
