Brief update on what has been going on during the last few weeks. Our screening in Brooklyn last Tuesday went really well. Over hundred people came to see the film preview! About a month ago, I went to the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. to talk about the project. Our film was screened afterwards, and many architecture students joined the event. More good news: we started editing in April!! The film project is moving into the next stage. It’s very exciting.
Talk to you soon,
Jim
