Tickets go on sale for the February screening this week. I'm both excited and scared as hell at the prospect of nearly a thousand people packing into a theater to see this for the first time. I am confident that the screening will be sold out - maybe even well in advance. There is that much anticipation. The nearly 600 kickstarter supporters alone are likely to consume a good chunk of the seats. The area stores in the seacoast alone could account for the balance of the tickets, that says nothing of the 200+ supporters we seem to have at the Market Basket home office in Tewksbury Mass. The media will almost certainly be there in force as well. It's easy to be excited and scared out of my mind all at once about this. While I'm not directing, I have a pretty major hand in bringing this thing to life and providing it with a voice. It wasn't at all how I imagined I'd get into the theater with a feature length film, but it is the story of a lifetime to get involved with, and I couldn't be happier to have a hand in it, but I was not prepared for how frightening so much of this can be at times. A lot is on the line....
