Not Since You Breaks Easter Weekend Record at Cine!

Just heard that our film Not Since You has had the best Easter weekend attendance Cine movie theater has ever had and that our one show was as much as all the other shows combined.

That is super cool news and so validating for us as filmmakers. In this recessionary environment, you get so used to hearing "no" and fielding rejection that it comes as a wonderful jolt to get some really good news.

We already have offers from other theaters across the United States so we see what happens! I'll keep everyone posted and hopefully the film will make it to your hometown. Thanks everyone for helping me to remain positive and hopeful as an indie filmmaker.
