Update #22: 04.17 San Francisco International Women's Film Festival
Great news folks!
The Company of Thieves screened on Sunday the 15th at 1PM to a SOLD OUT, over-capacity crowd at the Festival! After arranging for some folding chairs to accomodate extra people, the handful of films by women directors, including Thieves, experienced a warm and friendly reception from San Francisco film goers.
Below, I and a few friends and Kickstarter backers like yourselves jump for joy with the afternoon's success. For more pictures, visit the Facebook; LIKE the film to get all the updates!
Sincerely,
