Omaha Film Festival Winner!
GREAT NEWS!
65_RedRoses won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Omaha Film Festival! We’ve got a lot of screenings coming up in the US which is pretty exciting, especially since Eva has a huge online following of American friends. Stay tuned for more updates on festival screenings and broadcasts!
This past week I was invited to attend a screening of 65_RedRoses at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan and what a wonderful event it turned out to be! I graduated from UBC’s Film Production Program in Vancouver and it was really great to meet students interested in making films at the campus up north. Many thanks to the organizers and other panelists for making the screening possible, and also to the great audience that came out to see the film. There weren’t many dry eyes in the house, and a lot of people came up to me afterwards wanting to know how they could become organ donors. In Canada all you have to do is click on the icon of Eva anywhere on the site and it will take you to the different links in the province. If you are from outside of Canada we urge you to find out how to register in your country.
I visited Eva yesterday and she’s still fighting for each breath. She’s posting on her blog whenever she can – so keep visiting and commenting, she wrote a beautiful entry last night.
Thanks for your support!
