Dear friends, a little update from a turbulent Los Angeles.
Two hours and twenty minutes before the screening we got the green light from the festival board. It was not an easy move for them, but we left it in their hands and the festival did they right thing. We are grateful for that.
At least ten people from Dole were in the audience, taking notes. The audience loved the film. The debate was insane, but we did well. The sympathy fell on our side.
We are very grateful for all the support from you! On this site and in the facebook group.
The second and final chance to see BANANAS!* on the Los Angeles Film Festival will be on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 9:15 PM at The Landmark at the Westside Pavillion.

I heard you screened Dole’s own trailer http://bit.ly/D9zKn about the film too… how did the audience react to that?
