Dearest Backers, 

I have some exciting news to share... "Josephine and the Roach" will be screening at three festivals over the next couple months. 

-- First off, 'Roach is a finalist at Hatchfest in Bozeman Montana, which is happening October 3-6. It's a TED-like summit where brilliant people give lectures, and some five short films are screened. The exact screening time will be forthcoming.

-- Josephine and the Roach is an official selection of the Austin Film Festival! It will be screening Friday, October 19th at 3:30pm, and Thursday October 25th at 4:00pm- at the Hideout Theatre.

-- Roach was selected to screen at the Jim Henson Foundation's Puppets on Film series at BAMcinematék in Brooklyn. Details forthcoming.
