MANNA in MEXICO -- Manna del
Cielo!
The filmmaking sisters and their partner
parents were invited to the Mexico City Int'l Film Festival to speak
about new ways to distribute films in theaters. Other panelists included
Goldwyn, IFC Films, Sony, and Canadian companies. The festival was
amazing, with fantastic parties, great films, appreciative crowds.
The company had a delightful time. MANNA got a standing ovation from
