Good news all around this month. I was waiting to get confirmation on some things before sending this out, so it’s a little late, but I think it’s exciting enough…
First a slight personal plug – My film got a nice mention in the lead critic’s blog for the Gasparilla Film Festival! It was not only great to see it on a real screen with my mother & stepfather (who flew down for the occasion) but also to share that with my grandmother and one of her oldest friends: http://blogs.tampabay.com/movies/2008/03/time-to-resurre.html
The most important announcement of all is that I will be heading to the enormous annual American Library Association (ALA) conference taking place in Anaheim, CA in June to help educate librarians about the renew re:Frame venture organized by Renew Media – which has recently partnered with Tribeca Film Festival to become the Tribeca Film Institute. You can read more about their new venture at www.TribecaFilmInstitute.org, it’s quite a massive project and I’m really impressed with what they’ve accomplished.
