Happy New Year Everyone! I hope 2008 brings a safer, healthier, happier planet for us all to share in peace and harmony!
So first stop in 2008 for Falling For Grace is Lakeside, Arizona!!! Yes, I met these wonderful theater owners in Florida at a theater convention and they were interested in opening Falling For Grace as long as I showed up to do Q&As. So off I go. I know Phoenix and Scottsdale pretty well - great desert country, but apparently where I'm heading to -- Lakeside, AZ, is supposed to be gorgeous! I had the opportunity to open Falling For Grace in Grass Valley, CA - another small town and I must say, it was a fantastic experience -- one of the best I've ever had. The town could not have been "whiter", but they all got the movie and loved the Chinese family. Yes, I must agree that the strength of the film lies with Grace's relationship with her family.
In November and December 2007, we had the wonderful opportunity to screen FFG in 5 different cities in Austria. Bizarre, right? The movie was not subtitled in German, but you know those Austrians -- they speak better English than the Americans! Word was that people really liked the movie and now it might actually travel to Germany... Well see.
So, if you are anywhere close to Lakeside, AZ, come say hi! I love small towns in America and if Lakeside at all resembles Grass Valley, I would be in for a huge treat! And if you live in Hong Kong and would like to request the film...by all means! I'll bring it to you too...
More very soon...
