Subject: "Dear Zachary" premieres Sunday on MSNBC/opens Fri in San Jose
Hi Everyone,
Our big North American Television Premiere is finally upon us. "Dear
Zachary" premieres on cable this weekend...
Sunday night, December 7th at 9 PM (all time zones) on MSNBC. (See
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036750/ for details.)
It will be re-broadcast that same evening again at midnight. This TV
version is just slightly trimmed down from the theatrical version (I
did all the editing personally and am very happy with the TV version)
in order to fit a 2 hour time slot with 31 minutes of commercials (9
commercial breaks). The Today Show (on NBC) will be running a 2
minute segment from the film sometime on their Sunday morning show
that same day.
In the meantime, we're continuing to play theaters and open Friday for
a week-long engagement in my (and Andrew's) hometown of San Jose. If
you're in the Bay Area, please come out to see the film in the
theater! I'll be there this weekend and would love to see y'all:

After an incredible film festival run, Kurt Kuenne's DEAR ZACHARY hits
the Camera 3 Cinemas this weekend with a powerful, emotional event and
special guests.
On November 5, 2001, Dr. Andrew Bagby was murdered in a parking lot;
the prime suspect, his ex-girlfriend Dr. Shirley Turner, promptly fled
the United States for Canada, where she announced that she was
pregnant with Andrew's child. She named the little boy Zachary.
Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, Andrew's oldest friend, began making a film for
little Zachary as a way for him to get to know the father he'd never
meet. But when Shirley Turner was released on bail inCanada and was
given custody of Zachary while awaiting extradition to the U.S., the
film's focus shifted to Zachary's grandparents, David & Kathleen
Bagby, and their desperate efforts to win custody of the boy from the
woman they knew had murdered their son.
What happened next, no one ever could have foreseen…
