Not Since You Premiere a Success!

We had a wonderful premiere of our film on Sunday night. It was a full house and everyone seemed to really enjoy the film! I'm still recovering - ha!

A couple of colleagues even blogged about the film. Leslie Morgan gives her thoughts here. And Andy Ramachandran of Movie Habit discusses it here.

Thanks to everyone for helping to make it a success! Off to AFM we go with the film!
