We had fun presenting FOUND at the Sacramento International Film Festival! We were especially happy to have Kelley Faulkner, one of the lead actors, there as well. Special thanks to Martin Anaya, the director of the festival, for leading a great Q&A and making us feel so welcome!

We were also lucky enough to have ROAD RAGE selected as part of the Cine Soul element of the festival earlier in the week. It was a definite crowd pleaser!
