Beaufort Int'l Film Festival 2012

This past weekend, Shag Nation premiered at the 6th Annual Beaufort International Film Festival in Beaufort, SC to an audience of family, friends, supporters, and Shaggers! Our film had more online ticket sales than any other film at BIFF!

Awards Ceremony

 Following the screening, The Beaufort Shag Club put on a spectacular demonstration of the Shag by their junior members as well as adults, including surprise guest, Queen of Shag, Ellen Taylor!

The Awards Ceremony was the following everning and, though Shag Nation did not take home any awards, the film that did win Best Documentary as well as Audience Choice, Awaken the Dragon by Charleston filmmaker Liz Oakley, is absolutely worth checking out. Very inspirational!

Thank you, Ron Tucker, Rebecca, and your entire festival team for putting on an outstanding festival and for making us feel so welcome!

Thanks, too, to Dave Olszewski and the Beaufort Shag Club for bringing the Shag to life on stage for our audience!

And an extra special THANK YOU to everyone who attended our screening and participated in the Q&A!

Here's hoping there will be many more festivals for us in the future!

Shag Nation on Sale on the Blog!

Hey Y'all!

Just in case you were too busy shaggin' at SOS to pick up a copy of Shag Nation from the Company Store, it's now on sale on the blog!  Just click on the "Add to Cart" button to your right -----> to purchase your copy!  At the moment, only a limited number are available because I personally make them myself and test every single DVD to ensure that it's completely functional before I send it out — so it takes a little time to crank 'em out.  Once purchased, I can send them out the same day or next day to arrive within two days (depending on time of day/day of the week purchased). As I said before I test each DVD individually, but if there is any problem whatsoever with the disc, I will send another one immediately.

 Thanks in advance for supporting the film and for keeping the dance alive!

Shag Nation on Sale at SOS!

Hey Y'all!
