Another great festival update.  Day Labor will be screening at the DC Labor Film Festival in our nation’s capitol on the weekend of October 9-12.  The 8th annual DC Labor festival highlights films dealing with workers and the workplace…what a great fit!

More festival notifications are due in the next two weeks, so hopefully we’ll have some more good news.

Oh, and I sent off the obligatory entries to Sundance and Slamdance.  It’s like buying a lottery ticket…

Great news, and it will be fun to see Day Labor on the big screen in front of a local crowd.

Got a call yesterday from the Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF) saying that “Day Labor” is officially selected!

The festival takes place in June.  I’ll post the actual date and time of the screening later,
