Totally to our surprise we were finalists for the Best Narrative Short Film award at the Pan African Film festival (Los Angeles), and received an honourable mention at the Awards Brunch this morning - we are all dead proud! Check out the festival for an amazing diversity of programming from all over Africa and the diaspora. (Thanks also to Film London for sponsoring Debs' plane ticket to attend :-)

The screenings in College Station over the weekend were also really cool. It was really exciting to see the film used as a discussion starter tool - amazing to hear what issues were raised, and how it really gets under people's skin! The film has also been played to quite a young class of kids in a north London school to similar effect (thanks Wendy!) - it's really exciting to see these developments alongside the festival screenings.
Next stop is Hillywood - the Rwanda Film Festival - mid-March 2008. Will certainly post pictures and comments from there!

Congrats again on your win Debs. This is Joe, I sat by you at the awards.
I also think I make a dumb mistake and gave you an empty DVD case of my film "Akira's Hip Hop Shop."
Drop me a line and I'll mail you out a proper DVD.
best,
Joe
