We’re Bringing Watershed Home!

May 10, 2013 | Written by Forrest Pound

SF Premiere: May 31st, 6pm
It’s been an exciting year for our film Watershed. Since its premiere at the DC Environmental Film Festival March of 2012, it has been in 38 film festivals (we’re lucky to have attended several including 3 lovely international ones), it has been in over 250 community screenings so far which were held in 10 countries and 31 states, it aired on T.V., and now, it’s distributed by Collective Eye Films. But most importantly, we’ve started thousands of conversations and raised awareness about the Colorado River.

The one thing we’ve been missing… the San Francisco premiere.

Well, no longer! Get your tickets now and mark your calendars! On May 31 at 6pm, we will be screening at New People Cinema hosted by the San Francisco Green Film Festival. It’s a Friday, so go ahead and leave work early. In fact bring the whole office! After the screening, there will be a Q&A session with Director Mark Decena and Producer Jamie Redford.

Please come watch our film and celebrate with us.

“On Screen / In Person” Mid-Atlantic tour

May 01, 2013 | Written by Sam Green

I just got back from a tour of my program of short films, What We Need is the Impossible!, as part of the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation On Screen / In Person event series. We spent ten days traveling around the region from New York to Virginia for screenings, and had a great time.

I wrote a blog post for the foundation about commemorating little-know historical details while in Monmouth, NJ, which is actually where President James Garfield died. You can check out that post here.
