Director
Maria Giese said of the premiere at Moondance,
“We are thrilled to have our U.S. premiere
at Moondance, a festival that exemplifies the
very essence of independent filmmaking. The
cross-section of international features, shorts,
films of conscience on politics and the environment,
and particularly the emphasis on films for children,
makes Moondance an authentic leading showcase
of world cinema.” |

Culp added of the premiere at Universal CityWalk,
“It’s so appropriate to premiere this
film in Hollywood, at Universal CityWalk which
is part of Universal Studios, the kind of gargantuan
studio that struggling writers like our hero Charlie
Pontus must face.” |
