GRATITUDE IS PEACE. ~ Anne Lamott This year's gratitude list begins with our 10th anniversary version of IN GOOD CONSCIENCE. Our award-winning doc about the irrepressible Sister Jeannine Gramick has been condensed to 45 minutes with a new message from Sister reflecting huge changes in the church. For fans worldwide & a new generation of audiences! Streaming details coming soon. These powerful sponsors helped support the original film and made our new work possible: visionary Out of The Blue board member and philanthropist Deborah Santana, Henry van Ameringen of the H. van Ameringen Foundation, and Agnes Gund. And special thanks to Kathleen Treat and her Speranza Foundation team, Joey Borgogna and Lauren Bishop Borgogna, for a grant toward editing costs, including our new trailer! Check out NCR contributor Jamie Manson's lovely writeup here. Big gratitude to our online grassroots donors! We're 70% funded and welcome your tax-deductible donation. Our recent screening at Marble Collegiate Church sponsored by Level Ground and Believe Out Loud won multiple standing o's. Gratitude to James Rowe and all involved. Look for new interview excerpts with Sister Jeannine on our Facebook & Twitter pages. Be sure to connect with us there. Free shipping on the original film before Christmas! Call 212.477.2211 to place your order. (Discount on phone orders only) A BROADWAY LULLABY screened at the Jacob Burns Film Center this September. Gratitude to Edie Demas for hosting in connection with Breast Cancer Awareness month. We took away BEST DOC, BEST DIRECTING, and BEST EDITING awards at our west coast premiere in May at the Women's Independent Film Festival. Appreciation to Jazz Smollett for featuring another Out of The Blue title. ABL also premiered on KCET/Link this year. Thanks to KCET's Al Jerome for encouragement and support and congratulations on his retirement! We filmed a farewell segment with New York news legends Chuck Scarborough & Sue Simmons -- with the indefatigable Gabe Pressman. Hugs and kisses to Gabe & Vera, Out of The Blue Advisory Board members. GIRLS OF DARAJAWe're still dreaming of Kenya and the rising success of those Girls of Daraja -- three students we filmed are in journalist training at the Global Press Institute! You can support Daraja here. School of My Dreams the follow up, was featured at the Taos Shortz Film Festival this spring. Executive Producer Deborah Santana made all that possible and was the force behind our filming in South Africa for Road To Ingwavuma featuring Artists for a New South Africa back in 2006. My first piece for Huffington Post reflects a hero we met on that special journey. And thank you to fellow writer & creative explorer Saundra Goldman for her soulful piece on my artistic vision and work.
