With the fall comes loads of travel!

After a fairly relaxed summer I am gearing up to have a crazy fall! I am happy to announce that the film will be playing in Deauville Film Festival in mid September as well as Frestoria which is a festival in Portugal. Both Gloria and I will be traveling to Deauville and then I will make the solo journey to Portugal followed by a seven day stay in France. I am thinking about staying a couple day in Paris ( I love Paris) and then traveling to the south of France. I figure it's best to go and have a few adventures in France then to come back to NYC and work...cause now is the time to have fun!

After my adventures in France I return to NYC and we will be screening in a festival in the New York area (can't tell you which one just yet), then the beginning of October has us heading to the Heart Land where we are finalists for a fantastic award, from there to Pusan South Korea, somewhere in between all of that Gloria flies to Germany for a few days and then its Mexico, Dominic Republic, Florida and who knows where else.

It's amazing, it's exhausting and thrilling to be living and breathing a dream. I look back at the road we've traveled and yeah it's been VERY bumpy at times...only a few areas have been smooth but I wouldn't have it any other way. The bumps gave us bruises but they also made us so much stronger and forced us to conquer all of our fears. And I think that was the hardest part of all..conquering fear...my new mantra...Fear-so what!

Traverse City we love thee!




Gloria and I spent a wonderful weekend at Michael Moore's Traverse City Film Festival. We screened the film to 2 sold out crowds, we taught a three hour film class and relaxed on the most beautiful bay with our new friend Rose Hollander. The weekend could not have been any better. We were amazed by the kindness of the people and how supportive they were of the film. And to top off the perfect weekend we won the Jury Award for best film! Happiness all around!
