@sunscreenffstpete was amazing this year. So many good pictures to come, but I first wanted to start with kick ass karaoke after the awards ceremony from last Saturday night. @d2thesc2 and I decided to raise the bar with a full in costume performance this year. More fun photos to come! Photo credit, the amazing @kernzilla #livinonaprayer #karaoke #filmfestival

Such an exhilarating experience to watch your own movie in a legit AMC theater with a huge Bag of Popcorn🍿Reese’s Pieces, and a Coke Slushie surrounded by your loved ones. Life is good! Thank you @sunscreenffstpete for these unforgettable moments! My heart was racing! #filmmaking #movietheatervibes #crushingdreams #hardworkpaysoff #feelingblessed

Dad Genes picked up a Best Documentary Feature nomination this past weekend at the Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida. Congrats to Lunatic for taking the top doc prize. Director @craigdowning and producer Matt Isaac weathered tornado warnings to take questions from a sharp, curious audience — our Q&A went so long we had to be hustled out of the theater. Tip of the hat to the friends we made along the way: @legendofjuanjosemundo , who took home two awards, and @tylersmithfilm , whose short Never to Return also pulled in two. Thanks to Tony Armer and the @sunscreenffstpete crew for a stellar weekend in St. Pete. Coincidentally, the same weekend, our friends at @uncleroyfilm from Thessaloniki Int'l Doc Fest were conquering the other side of the state at @outshinefilm in FTL. Call it the weekend that indie docs took over Florida!

Thanks to everyone that came out to the premiere of our two latest shorts “The Mark Sheet” and “Free Hugs” as well as @riggi.productions film “Mystery Creek” that we helped out with! We had a great time as always at @sunscreenffstpete and also want to mention that we were the tech team behind the festival this year running the projectors and mics! We have lots in the works so stay tuned!
