 Hello everybody,
It has been an exciting month, with a lot of bouncing back and forth between various meetings. I am looking forward to finally returning home to NY. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of new screenings coming up - from Washington DC to Fire Island to Barcelona. I hope everyone had a fabulous summer!

- Twitch
- Team Queen
- Eternal Flame
- Press

Unicorns
|
|
 A Sundance Lab finalist, Even Unicorns Need to Breathe is a brutally honest portrayal of teen dating violence, offset by humor that is as touching as it is dark. This project is currently in development.

|
|
Twitch
|
|
 A Student Academy Award finalist, Twitch portrays a young girl's irrational fear that her mother's illness is contagious. Twitch has screened in over 100 film festivals and won a dozen international awards. Twitch continues to travel the festival circuit:
- NMWA Film Festival
September 25-30 2007
National Museum of Women in the Arts Theater
Washington DC
- New Filmmakers
7:00pm November 28 2007
Anthology Film Archives
New York, NY

Team Queen
|
|
 Team Queen is a gender-bending, fire-breathing, tassel-twirling music video for queer post-punk rockers "Triple Creme" starring the best of New York burlesque. Coming soon to a festival near you:
|
|
|
Eternal Flame
|
|
 Welcome to a world where mermaids dance with octopi, fire breathers rule the night, and the Statue of Liberty knows how to sing. Girls are buried up to their necks in sand while boys do back flips and dazzle dancers perform a puppet show without strings. A circus-themed beach-burlesque music video for Joan as Policewoman, Eternal Flame is the ultimate fire hazard.
