This one is going to be short and sweet because I know many brains are already on vacation!

Several bits of fantastic news as the summer approaches…

The Reframe Collection was one of 15 official honorees for a Webby Award, alongside organizations such as Kiva.org, so that was pretty exciting! You can read about that here:

Body & Soul: Diana & Kathy received an award for Best Documentary at the Talking Pictures Festival. It also recently played with the Sprout Film Festival. www.dianaandkathy.com I am in the process of finding partnering organizations to send letters of support for the upcoming October broadcast of the film so let me know if you have any ideas!

Mr. Conservative will be screening at the Hoboken International Film Festival on May 31 at noon at the Cedar Lane Cinemas in Teaneck, New Jersey. www.mrconservativemovie.com

The new film by Arthur Dong, Hollywood Chinese, will be airing on PBS American Masterworks TONIGHT at 9pm! He is also now releasing the film on DVD with a study guide so take a look at www.deepfocusproductions.com for more information!

I am headed to the American Library Association conference in July in Chicago and look forward to seeing my favorite media people there!

I am also starting to help a streaming-only service that focuses on Asian content. The plan is to launch next month so there is something to look forward to!

Thanks very much for your interest in independent film!
