Screening on Jan. 26 in California

It was a real pleasure to have been invited by MAW (Media Art Works) to screen Domino:  caught in the crisis in California last month.  The event took place on Jan. 26 in the Arlington Cafe, shortly before I left California for Spain.

The venue is cozy...relatively small, but inviting.  Since Domino is a work in progress, this was perfect for me.  There were just enough people to produce some lively discussion and interesting comments at the end of the film.  We even had a real, live film critic!!!

MAW screened Domino as part of their monthly series called EBMMSC (East Bay Media Makers´ Screening Club).  The EBMMSC screens work made by filmmakers in the East Bay, with the idea that more exposure encourages the production of film-video and the opportunity to screen to a reasonably small live audience provides opportunities for really getting to understand what you work is communicating to the public.

The venue, the Arlington Café, is also pleasant and welcoming, plus you can have food and drinks while watching.

Coming after the successful (and larger) screening of my documentary A  Zest for Life just a few days earlier, it made me feel as if my work is appreciated and my career is taking a new, and happy, turn.

Thank you to all involved:  the audience, MAW and the Arlington Café.

 NOTE that if you are an East Bay filmmaker looking for a venue in which to screen, don´t hesitate to contact MAW.
