"The day starts like the rest we've seen..."

Oh god! Please, oh PLEASE let it be a release date for the Pro-Shot!!!!!!!

So exciting! I’ve been wanting to see it since I saw the national tour in Costa Mesa in 2018.

Unfortunately that is zero indication of when/how it will be available to the greater public.

I'm not sure how the scheduling works or what availability will be like, but I'll be back in the city the last weekend of the festival and would LOVE to be able to see it!"

I'm not intending this to sound snarky, but is this above based on something? I find it really hard to believe a streaming service wouldn't distribute this, especially if it's already been filmed and put together? I donno, I'm not from the industry and don't know how that works, but it seems like an easy sell to me?

It's all rumors, but I've heard that basically all of the proshots that have been filmed, but have no announced plans for release are caught in limbo with distributors just not that interested in picking them up. 

I could be wrong though and they could ll come out soon. We'll have to wait and see. 

This right now is being handled as an indie film and having it picked up for the TriBeca Film Festival is a major push. It’s obvious they weren’t able to have it picked up by any studio or streaming service which is why it’s been in limbo so long. Hopefully this helps but no guarantees. DIANA: The Musical was filmed by Netflix, so it had a home from the get-go. Brooke Shields’ new documentary floated in limbo for a brief time until it was shown at Sundance and Hulu deciding on picking it up. The 2019 Truman Capote documentary floated in limbo after showing at DocNYC for 3 years until Hulu picked it up. Just because YOU think it’s an easy sell doesn’t mean industry outlets think so, too.  

If the impending writers strike ends up being lengthy everyone will be scrambling for already made content and these proshots will, all of a sudden, become super valuable.

No. They don’t have a distributor, so they’re opening at a festival to drum up interest and find a buyer.

The film will screen simultaneously in Times Square on June 12:

A new tweet from the waitress team seeming to hint at an impending announcement tomorrow.

Is Bleeker a struck company?
