The Congressional Screening in Washington DC

The last few weeks have been amazing in so many ways!

We had overwhelmingly positive response to the film when we screened it in Washington DC at the Capitol Building on October 30th at 3.30pm for Congressional staffers, NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and seven members of Jeannette Rankin’s family!  Photos will be posted soon. Our profound thanks goes to Congressman Dennis Kucinich and his wonderful aide, Catherine Veith, for facilitating this important event.

While in Washington we shot footage and stills of our experience there, including comments from the Rankin family and great interviews with the library staff of the United States Institute of Peace - whose library is named after Jeannette Rankin!

I will be editing a short film of the Congressional Trip for our DVD extra as I begin the preparations and fundraising necessary to move the film to DVD and make it available to the public.

We also completed editing, producing and duplicating a new four-minute trailer (thanks to Sven Shelgren, Eric Murphy and Shirley Harlan!) which we distributed at the Congressional Screening. We plan to use the new trailer to broaden awareness of the film and as a tool for our upcoming tour.  Viviane Hahn, our Outreach Coordinator, is in the process of organizing a college and museum tour of the film and can send this trailer to any such group that may be interested in hosting a screening of the film.  You can reach her at: outreach@asinglewomanmovie.com

We recently sent out our first official newsletter, which hopefully you received.  If you didn’t, please sign up for it, as I will be shifting most of my news updates to the newsletter and you must be signed up to receive it.

More news to come soon so please sign up and stay informed!

Thank you, as always, for your support of “A Single Woman.”

With much love,
