Encore Film Screening - A Success

Last Sunday evening (Dec. 6th), we had a great time with our Encore Private Screening of the new documentary Far East Deep South. With this and the one in July we shared this wonderful film with over 250 viewers and we had about 40 during the Q&A Zoom session. Larissa and Baldwin did a great job answering questions and sharing and we learned of their continuing success including (1) additional awards like at the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (2) signing with New Day, a major distributor of educational films, (3) breaking into the higher ed market for cultural and ethnic studies like the film libraries at Stanford and Duke and (4) coming soon on PBS?

The best part is the praise we heard from viewers:

• "amazing and interesting… a great film"
• "Neither of you are filmmakers? Amazing."
• "Great way to spend my Sunday night!!!"
• "Thank you! Beautiful film."
• "Absolutely awesome!"

Here's just a short list of resources shared:

• Film website: www.fareastdeepsouth.com
• Baldwin and Larissa's Youtube channel: youtube.com/onlywon
• They will be leading a workshop on Family History at the rootstech conference: www.rootstech.org.

If you enjoyed the film or have some special insight please comment here on this blog. We'd love to hear it.
