Upcoming Festivals
January 14th, 2010
Hi everyone,
Hope the holidays we’re good to you. It was a little slow but things are starting to speed up again and while we are gearing up to release our film (hopefully in April) we have new festivals approaching and we wanted to let you know about upcoming screenings.
We will be at the ATLANTA JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL this Sunday, January 17th with another screening on Wednesday Jan 20th. Here is the link to our page.
From there we travel to Amsterdam where we’ve been invited to screen at NIET NORMAAL a 3 month art exhibit on January 21st. Here is a link to our page.
And just wanted to show you the Beurs Van Berlage where we will be screening. It’s a very beautiful building.
We’ve also been invited to the Sedona International Film Festival in late February and will let you know when we have a date.
Please let anyone you know living in the Atlanta area to join us this Sunday, and if you happen to know anyone in Amsterdam let them know as well.
Hope to see you.
