Is there any news on the progress of this movie besides the IMDB page (which can be edited by any Tom, Dick and Harry)? When I google search there's no official movie website, FB page, Twitter page... nothing

The film finished shooting in August of last year. Last I heard the plan was to submit it to festivals this fall in hopes of securing distribution for a spring release.

thanks for the info. I just find it strange that they don't even have any social media accounts to promote it (I understand buying a domain would cost money)

To promote the existence of a movie without a release date or festival appearances scheduled yet? Why?

they can always show behind the scenes stuff, build up interest for the movie even before they secure a distributor. who knows, having the social media pages might actually help them find a distributor.
Just imagine, for instance, that they had tweeted / instagrammed a photo of Austin McKenzie / Sarah Steele since they were recently on Bway / are on Bway in Tony-nominated / Tony-winning productions - especially all the teens/ tweens from the Spring Awakening fandom (which fits the demographic for this movie).
It would generate interest to this indie movie. I mean, it's just exposure and marketing. and using Instagram, FB, twitter etc costs NOTHING so to speak. those numbers of followers / likes might help to convince potential distributors that there is an audience for this film.

Yes, but they want to do that closer to the time when there is a film you could actually go out and see... a video that interests me now isn't necessarily going to matter if the movie came out next spring, etc.
