SILVERDOCS here we come!

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

OK. We are applying to a bazillion festivals–many of them abroad–and just found out we got accepted to the 10th Seoul International Youth Film Festival this July! Too bad we don’t get to go! WE can’t wait to hear more about it and the competition. But for now, it means I have to transcribe [...]
