Thanks to everyone who made this possible

Hey Everybody!

Well, even though the KARP doc is playing at one off screenings throughout America and even Australia over the next couple months, the mammoth 53 date, 8 country, 3 language screening tour we went on for the KARP doc is over… and it was absolutely incredible, with packed theaters, repeat screenings, and rabid fans… Thanks so much to all the theaters, press, record shops, and individuals who made it possible… it was a truly Magical Experience. Make sure to check out our KARP LIVES! FB page for pictures from the theaters and events.

The KARP doc got a 3 out of 4 stars in the Seattle Times and an “Excellent” in the San Francisco Bay Guardian… there was a lot of radio, web, & print press for the doc so be sure to check it out on the KARP LIVES! FB page and hopefully soon here, on an upcoming “press” page.

Write in and let us know if you’d like the KARP doc to be available at your local record store and we’ll do our best to get it there, or check in at our “buy” page to order online…

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!

Send Us Your KARP Stuff!

Hey Everybody, we’re about to leave on what should be the final filming trip for the KARP documentary! This means that come January 6th we will be done filming for this project and the intensive portion of the editing process will begin!!

This means that now is the last chance to send in pictures, fliers, and show footage to be included in the film. We can use just about any pictures from the time period (90-98) Olympia and remember that interview content about a subject is not enough! We need pictures referencing that material to be included in the film so please send and write in anything you think might be useful.

We are always on the lookout for pictures taken inside, The State Tri Theater, The Lucky 7 House, The Central House…

In a few weeks the scenes from the benefit concerts will be posted here in their entirety!

Festival Submissions

So all, festival submissions for the KARP doc have begun and so far we’ve submitted to: Sundance, the Cleveland International Film Festival, the Nashville International Film Festival, and the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.

Coming up soon we will be submitting to: the Phoenix International Film Festival, the Seattle International Film Festival, Hollywood International Film Festival, and the True False International film Fest. Of course we’re planning on submitting to many more festivals in the upcoming months, these are listed here because their submission dates fall in the next few weeks. Please make sure we’re submitting to a festival in your area by emailing info@karplives.com and as always donations are appreciated as submission fees are hefty.

We also have two upcoming KARP doc Benefits in November where we will be showing clips and folks will be playing KARP covers which should be entertaining. November 9th at Rotture in Portland, OR and November 11th at Jinx Art Space in Bellingham, WA.

Sorry for the Long Delay

Hey everybody sorry for the long delay in posting up here! I’ve been entrenched in the editing process since we quit filming mid January and haven’t successfully pulled myself from it long enough to keep in contact, sorry about that! BUT you will be happy to know that we are working with a full cut of the film and festival submission begins at the end of this month!

So, if you would like to make sure that we are submitting to a film festival near you, please write in and let us know about your local festival and who we might speak with there!

Also, we are beginning to create a list of theaters that would be interested in hosting the film when the festival process is completed so if you have a favorite art house theater in your area please let us know about it!

As always, we are still accepting show footage, fliers, pics, etc, but time is running out so if you have these things please send them in right away.
