We are absolutely humbled by the success "When Do We Eat?" continues to enjoy at film festivals and event screenings around the country:
In addition to
- Best Feature at the DeadCenter Film Festival in Oklahoma City,
- Best Comedy at the Napa/Sonoma Wine Country Film Festival,
- Best Director at the Tahoe/Reno International Film Festival,
we've recently been awarded
- Best Screenplay at the San Diego Film Festival, and
- Best Comedy at the San Francisco World Film Festival,
thus maintaining a 100% record of winning an award at every festival where we've been eligible.
Also, two weeks ago in Florida, we helped raise nearly $20,000 in one screening for Beit Issie Shapiro, a charitable organization for children with developmental disabilities. This is a model we are very interested in pursuing with other groups because it relates to a plan we've had since the inception of "When Do We Eat?", namely, to donate 10% of the real profits of the film (not "Hollywood" profits) to worthy causes.
Upcoming screenings include:
Closing Night Gala at the Scottsdale International Film Festival, Tuesday, Ocotber 11, with Lesley Ann Warren and director Salvador Litvak attending. see here for more details
UK Jewish Film Festival, London, November 9 & 10, see here for more details.
And lastly, we remain on track for a theatrical release in March; specifics to be announced when we have them.
