January 22 thru 27, 2008 – Park City Film Festival
Park City, Utah
Micheal is one of the featured artist in the newly released film 800 CD’s. Every artist experiences the same thing, the excitement of recording their songs and receiving the first 1,000 CD’s. After selling some to fans, giving some to family and friends and sending out copies to a myriad of music and industry people, now what? This entertaining documentary shows independent artists learning and applying some of the largely unknown strategies necessary to clear their living room floors of the piles of boxed up CD’s that remain.
Film Screenings: January 24 & 27, 2008
Join Micheal and some of the other artists in the film as they gig live throughout the festival.
