Invitation to Special Screening

Invitation to Special Screening

Last year my client writer/director Craig Brewer completed his film “The Poor & Hungry” a story about a romance between a cello player and a car thief. The picture won the top prize for Best Digital Feature at the recent Hollywood Film Festival. It has received rave reviews and was in limited release at the Malco Theater in Memphis, Tennessee where it generated more than twice the receipts of such films as "The Cell" and "Blood Simple.” The film was also shown at the Austin Film Festival.

Most recently, the picture was shown at the Nashville Film Festival and won the Audience Choice, Independent Spirit and the Regal Cinema Best Feature Awards. The film has been licensed to the Independent Film Channel which will exhibit it nationwide next year.
You are invited to a special screening at the Director’s Guild sponsored by the Tennessee Film and Music Commission on September 13 at 7:00PM. The Director’s Guild is at 7920 Sunset Blvd. There is limited seating so please come early to assure yourself a seat.

To End All Wars Premieres at Telluride Film Festival

I have just returned from the Telluride Film Festival with my clients, Director David Cunningham and Producer Jack Hafer, where their compelling film “To End All Wars” was received by enthusiastic audiences. The film is based on an eyewitness account by author Ernest Gordon who was an Allied prisoner of war during WW II forced to build the “Railway of Death” for the Japanese. The picture stars Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle.
The film will be shown next at the Toronto Film Festival on September 14th (9:00 PM at the Uptown 1 theater) with special appearances by Kiefer Sutherland and Ernest Gordon, and again on September 15 (11:15 AM at the Varsity 4 & 5 theaters). There is also a press screening on September 13th at (9:30 AM). It will also be shown at the upcoming Mill Valley Film Festival on the evening of Oct. 6th. This is a film you do not want to miss. Additional info on the film can be found at www.toendallwars.com. Congratulations David and Jack.
