"Alcatraz Reunion" plays Toronto - next is Big Muddy!

This past weekend, Alcatraz Reunion was screened by WildSound Film Festival at Canada's National Film Board Cinema in downtown Toronto, followed by Q&A with the director.  Crowd was very responsive - lots of compliments and insights.  This is the first time I had seen the film on something larger than a television, and I was very encouraged.  It looked great.

And....I just got word that it was selected to 30th annual Big Muddy Film Festival in southern Illinois (near St. Louis) - one of the longest-running, most respected mid-size festivals.  I'm waiting to hear on several dozen more festivals in various cities across the country - maybe to a theatre near you!  If you want to hear in advance about when and where it's screening, make sure to sign up to my e-mail list at my website.  Thanks for your interest.

Here are some photos from this weekend's show.

Alcatraz Reunion screens in Toronto - Jan 27th

Alcatraz Reunion, my latest documentary, will have a sneak preview screening at the prestigious National Film Board Cinema in downtown Toronto on Sunday, January 27th at 3:00pm.

Q&A and discussion with the director will follow.

The National Film Board Cinema is at 150 John Street in the Entertainment District in downtown Toronto.

If you're in Buffalo and would like to attend, drop me an e-mail and I will try to organize a carpool - I know a few people are planning to go along with me.

Advance tickets are available from WildSound Film Festival.

They have also created a dedicated MySpace page for this event.
