We did it!!!!!

Today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the Documentary Branch had viewed all 35 eligible Documentary Short Subject entries, and narrowed the field down to an 8-film shortlist.  And I am so proud and honored to tell you that INCIDENT IN NEW BAGHDAD is one of the films on that list!

But most of all, I am grateful to you!  Thanks to the generosity of each and every one of you, I was able to screen my film in Los Angeles in order to meet the Academy's qualification requirements.  Three to five final nominees will be selected from the shortlist and announced in January.

Again, thank you so much for believing in me, in this film, and in the message it sends to the world.

The world, it seems, is listening!

All the best,

Jim Spione, Director, INCIDENT IN NEW BAGHDAD
