Take Me Home Finds Home in World Cinema Section of the Chicago Film Festival

Gosh, I love our film Take Me Home! I'm so happy others like it too. We just learned that we have been accepted to the World Cinema section of the Chicago Film Festival in October.

Being from Detroit, I grew up driving the 5 hours to Chicago to enjoy the amazing Windy City. I really can't wait and I'm so happy Take Me Home is getting such a wonderful reception. We had a great time making the film. It was truly a labor of love. And when something is borne of love, it has to succeed, right?!

If you are in the Chicago area, please join us for the Chicago premiere of Take Me Home!

Here's the super awesome trailer our editor created:
