One Last Festival & Awards Ahead of DVD Release

Carlo Fiorletta and Tara Westwood

Surviving Family had its (probably!) last festival screening at the Northeast Film Festival, where we were thrilled to pick up 6 awards.  Tara Westwood received the Breakout Performance award for her great work as Jean Malone Fulton; she's pictured at left with our Executive Producer Carlo Fiorletta.  The two will co-star in the upcoming feature About Us, shooting fall 2014, and are also on board as producers.

We were also delighted to receive awards for Best Feature, Best Director (Laura Thies), Best Screenplay (Mara Lesemann, who is also the screenwriter for About Us), Best Actress (Sarah Wilson), and Best Supporting Actor (Vincent Pastore).

We'll be out on DVD via Redbox (those red kiosks in your supermarket, bank branch, and pharmacy!) later this fall, and will announce the official release date as soon as it's available.

A Fest, 3 Nominations, & a Trailer for the New Year!

We're delighted to kick off 2013 at the 7th annual Trail Dance Film Festival in Duncan, Oklahoma.  Surviving Family will screen there on Saturday January 26 at 2 PM, at the Simmons Center Theater.  To make the occasion even better, we've been nominated for 3 awards:  Best Feature Drama, Best Actor (male or female) - Sarah Wilson, and Best Director - Laura Thies.

To mark the occasion, we're rolling out a new trailer this week; you can check it out here:
