Susie's Hope Succeeds at RiverRun Film Festival

Attending the world premiere of the film Susie's Hope, a film on which I have spent the last two years as a screenwriter and producer, I couldn't help myself -- a huge wave of euphoria swept over me, and I did a little heel-kick in the lobby.  The venue was beautiful: the largest seamless screen in North Carolina at the beautiful ACE Cinema complex on the campus of UNC-School of the Arts.  The crowd was magnaminous: 300 people with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces.  The experience was ineffable: a simultaneous joy and sorrow that left me speechless.  So, I'll let the comments from those that attended speak on my behalf:

"This is a story about bravery, perseverance, indescribable cruelty and equally indescribable love. This is a story where evil, bitterness and blame could have
won but where compassion, joy and love persevered."  -- Laura Moog Lanier

"If you have not seen the movie, Susie's Hope, then you have missed a wonderful story of love, tragedy, forgiveness, commitment, perseverance, hope, victory and change -- yes all of these conditions in an eloquent and truthful presentation. I hope to see this movie available to every household!" -- Pam Campbell Chisholm

"I thought it was wonderful.  I think it will do wonders for animals in shelters nationwide." -- Keely Greene
