Subject: "Shuffle" wins Audience Award in Sedona, New Visions Award at Cinequest -- screens next in NJ, Cleveland, Atlanta, Phoenix, Vail, Brussels...

Hi Everyone,

Kurt here;  hope you've been having a fabulous March!  Just wanted to give you the latest news with "Shuffle", along with its upcoming screening times for those local to the festivals playing it.  Here we go:

"Shuffle" tied for the Audience Award at the Sedona International Film Festival in late February, where it sold out two shows and a third was added by popular demand.  It then won the New Visions Award (best film in its category, New Visions) at Cinequest in San Jose, where it had 4 screenings scheduled and a 5th was added on the last day.  Photos from our recent events can be found here:  http://www.facebook.com/shufflethemovie/photos

It next screens tomorrow night (Friday) at:

The Garden State Film Festival -- Opening Night Film!
Friday, March 23rd -- 7 PM
The Paramount Theatre
1300 Ocean Avenue
Asbury Park, NJ 07712

I will be in attendance with actor/producer Chris Stone and Exec. Producer Brennan W. Penney.

Then:

The next morning I'm off to the Cleveland International Film Festival, where the kind folks there are honoring me with a "Director's Spotlight Award" and doing a retrospective of my work around "Shuffle", which is a huge honor.  This is only the 7th time they've given this award and previous recipients include the esteemed filmmakers John Sayles, Todd Solondz and Frieda Lee Mock, so it's a very big deal for me. :)  Their page about the award is here:  http://www.clevelandfilm.org/festival/special-programs/directors-spotlight
