FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Phoenix, AZ. Local filmmaker Steven Christopher Wallace entered into a distribution agreement for his film There May Be Pleasure with Ouat! Media, a short film distributor based in Toronto, Canada. The agreement covers all media and territories.
Today a group of friends and I went to the 9th annual Back Alley Film Festival in Tucson for the US premier of There May Be Pleasure. Aside from me it was, Clint, Ragen, Eric, Tara, Jaime and Sherman. Clint, Ragen and I stayed at the Hotel Arizona on the 6th floor. It was a pretty cool 60s/70s ish building that kind of made me feel like I was in the Conversation with Gene Hackman. Below are some pics, one of the building and one of a sunset from our room. The rest of the Gang stayed at the historic Hotel Congress.
THURSDAY JAN 25th - FRIDAY JAN 26
Arrived in London about seven hours ago. The flight went well. They gave me a free Johnny Walker Red, and a red wine with dinner. So that was pretty good. Also, they showed the Gondry movie, ‘Science of Sleep’, which I liked a lot.
I’m staying at the Shaftsbury Kensington, its in central/west London in a pretty posh nieghborhood. My room is probably 100 sq. ft, but I have a 42″ plasma TV, and when I asked reception for a video cable to hook up my laptop they gave me a THX monster brand cable!

There May Be Pleasure is the story of two college students, Nathan and Keren. While working on a project together for film class, Nathan realizes he is more interested in Keren, than his studies. The story unfolds through a series of sequences Nathan is filming for the project. In each progressive shot, we follow Nathan’s internal dialog as it reveals more of how he feels about Keren.
The filming of There May Be Pleasure utilized many different techniques for its visual effects. The image was filmed directly off the projector screen, footage was also scanned, manipulated and filmed off an lcd, net filtration was used to differentiate imagination from reality and the film was shot chronologically utilizing all ‘first takes’, for a completely in camera edit.
