Posted project update #10Gold Circle Award for The Lower 9
Hello!
I've got some great news. Co-Director Elaine McMillion and I were in Los Angeles this weekend for The Caucus Foundation Awards Dinner. The Caucus gave us a grant last year for The Lower 9.
To our surprise, we were given another award for The Lower 9, the Gold Circle Award. This award includes a $20,000 post-production package from the Hollywood based company HTV/illuminate and will be applied to our next film. So awesome!
Thank you again for all your support. We're waiting to hear back from film festivals and will let you know once we know.
Here's an article on the awards dinner from the Hollywood Reporter.

Posted project update #9Distribution News
Post CommentHey everyone,
A real quick update.
We've just signed a distribution contract with the company Third World Newsreel, which primarily distributes to educational institutions like colleges and universities.
In 2012, Third World Newsreel will begin to offer The Lower 9 as a film to include in school and college curriculum's. This is extremely flattering, as we hoped this film would educate and inform.
This would not have been possible without your contributions, so I'd like to thank you again for your support in helping Elaine and I complete this project.
