The 2007 Boulder International Film Festival came to a rousing conclusion.  Whether they could make it to the screening or not, "DRUNK IN PUBLIC" seemed to be one of the films on everyone's list. 

The many parties provided numerous opportunities to discuss the film and share behind the scenes stories of the 12 year production...
Snow began to fall as "DRUNK IN PUBLIC" was successfully launched before an admirably-sized audience.  Nearly everyone stayed for a thought-provoking Q&A. 
I was invited to be a part of an equally well attended FILMMAKER'S PANEL.  We had a great time providing insight, inspiration and insanity. 
"DRUNK IN PUBLIC" was fortunate enough to take home the "BEST EDITING" award.  I am profoundly grateful to Robin Beeck, the film festival selection comittee, staff, volunteers, audiences and judges for putting together such a satisfying event.

12 years in the making, the documentary feature-length version of "DRUNK IN PUBLIC" finally debuted and screened today at the Historic Lido Theatre in the 2006 Newport Beach Film Festival.  

It was very well attended with close to 400 people showing up at NOON on a Thursday.   The crowd was very receptive and fully involved in the Q&A which in it's entirety lasted hours after the screening and concluded the parking lot. 
I was touched by the impact the film had on the audience.  The crowd's response affirmed and supported this meaningful project.  I am honored and grateful to the audience for the unbridled feelings, stories, experiences and thoughts they so generously shared with me.
