Welcome to Changeworx, the internet home for Sunny Intervals and Showers, VBB Productions, and The Eurofixer.
Please pardon our basic appearance as our websites are currently being built by Julie Stanford and her design chefs at Sliced Bread Design.
Please email director Jonathan Goodman Levitt (sunnyintervals@gmail.com) to be kept informed of developments, such as the completion of this website and the launch of DVD/VHS sales. Emails to our mailing list are sent roughly once a month. Below is a synopsis of Sunny Intervals and Showers; the filmmaker statement from our press kit; and an update about recent events. We look forward to being in touch with you soon!
If you or anyone you know in the US has a satellite dish, please tune in to watch Sunny Intervals and Showers, which has its TV premiere on LinkTV (www.linktv.org, DirectTV 375, Dish 9410) this August. If you miss one screening, it should be repeated again soon.
Sunny Intervals and Showers was selected to screen at the IFP Market this September.
Screenings are at the Angelika Film Centre 19-22 September.
In June, the short film we made while I was at the NFTS won at the Dulwich Festival. Shot in two days, the film follows Errol, a youth worker in one of the UK's most troublesome neighbourhoods for gang violence. When this violence is brought home to the 'club' where Errol works, he remembers how he escaped the gang life himself. Thanks to Toni Bates, Riaz Meer, Chris Tin, and Richard Overall for their brilliant work on it, and to everyone in the film for being themselves! Errol spoke after the award was presented and we celebrated with his partner Paula and their four kids. Some programmers who were in the audience will be screening the film in coming months in the UK.
It was an honour for an interview about Sunny Intervals to be included in Shooting People's Documentary Book, launched at the Broadcast Production Show earlier this month, GET YOUR DOCUMENTARY FUNDED AND DISTRIBUTED, edited by Jess Search and Melissa McCarthy. The piece is in a chapter about 'High-end Distribution', which is indeed a bit ironic for me, and perhaps for those of you who know a bit about my finances these years. In any event, please read more about the book.
The information and advice in the book is already helping us as we work to fund new films!
I wrote an article about the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam featured in the June issue of RELEASE PRINT magazine, which is published by the amazing Film Arts Foundation in San Francisco. Read more at filmarts.org.
Many thanks for your support, and for visiting the site!
