Great Time at Trail Dance

Writer/Producer Mara Lesemann

Festival Director's Award &

Sarah Wilson's Best Actor Award

Surviving Family had a great screening at the Trail Dance Film Festival in Duncan, Oklahoma!  We had a large and (very) enthusiastic audience, which included many local film lovers in addition to the filmmakers who were attending the festival.  Their questions and (very) positive feedback extended through the q&a session and into the adjoining snack bar.

At the Saturday night awards ceremony, it was great to receive the Best Actor Award for Sarah Wilson (Trail Dance gives one award among both the men and women) as well as the Festival Director's Award, which goes to his choice for best combination of high quality movie plus audience buzz.

This is definitely a festival that will be on the list for the next movie project.

Next up:  the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Film Festival the first weekend in March, followed by Los Angeles Women's Film Festival , sponsored by the Alliance of Women Filmmakers, which takes place March 21-24.
