Made it just in time for tonight's NIH sponsored screening of Jumping Off Bridges at AFI Silver. There were a lot of people in attendance, 100 - 150 or more perhaps. The film tells the story of a family dealing with grief & suicide. After the screening there was a Q & A session with mental health professionals & producers of the film. And after that I hung out with producer Stacy Schoolfield (one of my Indie Features 06 co-bloggers) & friends at an Austin Grill of all places (Stacy is from Austin). Good movie, good people, that's the main story from tonight. It was nice to see Team JOB in action, traveling with the movie/getting it out to screens DIY style, & being well received by the DC area audience.

Yeah, there's quite a bit of activity in the DC indie film scene. Glad to write about it when I get a chance.

Come visit us in Austin!
Likewise, it was much fun meeting Team J.O.B. & eating & trading stories at Austin Gill Silver Spring.
Austin, Texas is definitely on my list of cities to visit in '07.
Talk to you soon.
