Update #4: Home Stretch!

Posted on August 22, 2010

Hello Friends,

We're hard at work finishing the film for a local premiere at the end of September. If you're around Rochester, NY on September 26th come on out to the Dryden Theater at the George Eastman House!

http://dryden.eastmanhouse.org/films/the-beast-pageant/

After that screening we'll begin the journey of sharing the film at festivals, barns, and basements near you, with DVDs, CDs and treats on the way!

Beast Wishes,
Albert & Jon

      Can't wait for the premiere - in my favorite venue. I don't run a festival, but may be able to hook you up with a few barns and basements. Cheers, Gary
