Oprah “Effect” a game-changer for 65_RedRoses Filmmakers!
It’s seems like yesterday since our launch on OWN back in May… And it was actually only yesterday that the Vancouver Sun featured 65_ RedRoses as a story again!
Congratulations Nimisha and Philip (featured left with Oprah) for headlining yesterday’s article by Zoe McKnight on the “Oprah Effect”.
A warm Winfrey endorsement has opened doors for local entrepreneurs
“Filmmaker Nimisha Mukerji is one of the lucky few who have not only had their work endorsed by Oprah Winfrey, but have been in her presence. She met the former talk show host, publisher and all-around lifestyle mogul – who will be appearing in Vancouver Jan. 24, 2013 at Rogers Arena – at a party during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where Mukerji and co-producer Philip Lyall were shopping around their documentary 65_RedRoses, about a young Vancouver woman battling cystic fibrosis. The film had been selected as one of the first five to premiere on Documentary Club on the Oprah Winfrey Network, where it aired this May.”
