Hello Lovely Folks,

Sorry it has taken me so long to contact you after LAFF! It has been a busy, busy time... But I want to say thank you again for making it all possible!

I think you know that your generosity helped us WIN THE BEST PERFORMANCE AWARD AT THE FESTIVAL!!! This is an amazing achievement and propels the film into an even higher echelon!

I want to get your rewards out to you, so please email me back making sure I have your email address and your mailing address if you are due a DVD or anything else.

We got even more great press than I was able to share with you last time, including: a wonderful write up in The Huffington Post, an Awards Photo, and Backstage is scheduled to run an interview in the 8/25 issue.

I also wanted to let you know that HTC will be playing the following festivals coming up:

MONTREAL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL August 18th - 28th - Screenings:

August 22 at 10:00 am - L10 Cinema Quartier Latin (Theatre 10)
August 23 at 7:20 pm - L10 Cinema Quartier Latin (Theatre 10)
August 24 at 12:50 pm - L10 Cinema Quartier Latin (Theatre 10)

TWIN CITIES FILM FESTIVAL September 20-25 - Screenings TBD

I'll be sure to keep you up-to-date on future festival screenings and don't forget to send me your mailing address if you are due back a tangible reward.

All the best,

Amber and the HTC family!

Yay!!

I can't believe it, we have reached our goal!!

Thank you so much to all of you! Your generosity is overwhelming and I feel so lucky to have so many great friends and supporters of indie filmmaking in my life!

We are now heading to the LA film festival and in no small part this is due to you. I hope you can come join us for a screening if you are in the area...

And I hope I can repay the favors one day to each and every one of you! :)

Gratefully yours,
