DRAGON*CON 2006 REPORT

Our 1 a.m. screening of the movie was packed on Saturday night at Dragon*Con, the country's largest Sci-fi/horror/fantasy/popculture/whatever convention in the country.

We were part of two event tracks there: the independent film track and the Tolkien track (for which we were special guests).

Randolf the Wizard worked the lobbies all weekend and had a clicker he used to keep track of how many times his picture was taken which turned out to be over 1,400! He also did a number of interviews for TV, radio, print and a Dragon*Con documentary.

Our two Making of Muddle-earth panels went great and we got to do a panel with actor Kiran Shah Monday morning talking about our experiences making films. Kiran and his nephew Kit were a pleasure to hang out with and it looks like Kiran may be interested in our next project, which just might involve a boy wizard and a dopey magic school or something. You may remember that Kiran was in LORD OF THE RINGS as the stunt/scale double for the hobbits and played the sleigh driver for the White Queen in CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. He also introduces our movie on the Dork DVD.

Naturally, Jack Peterson was there and he wedged his way into the above-mentioned panel and sat right next to Kiran, even offering his bathtub for Kiran to stay in next time he visits New Zealand. Jack shmoozed with other celebs including legendary filmmaker George Lucas (played by George Starkey), David Prowse (the real Darth Vader!), Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer of The Venture Bros. (Jack pissed off Doc, no surprise), and the wacky guys behind the online hit Red. Vs. Blue.

Thanks again to Ashlee and Rachel Scott for filming some stuff for us (and we filmed for them too!) and The Great Luke Ski and Terrestrial Media for selling our DVDs at their booths.
