Director Laura Thies introduces Surviving Family in Munich |
Surviving Family had its European premiere on the evening of November 7 at Munich's Neues Gabriel Kino theater, in front of an enthusiastic full house. Director and Munich native Laura Thies organzed and hosted the event, which was attended by indie film lovers and filmmakers from around Germany and as far away as Switzerland.
We were thrilled to confirm our expectation (and hope!) that the story and characters do truly cross borders.
A few days before Munich, it was great to introduce Kentucky audiences to the Malone family at the River City Festival of Films in Owensboro, KY. Festival director and filmmaker P.J. Starks put together a terrific event that offered the opportunity to network with filmmakers from throughout the region.
