IDA Docuweek in Los Angeles

A great week of documentary film starts August 18 in Hollywood. The week is structured to allow the films to qualify for the Academy Awards. Each film must screen four times in either New York or L.A. to be accepted for qualification.

Alpha Cine has worked and continues to work on about half of these films. The short 'Phoenix Dance' was my personal deal for the company. So anyone one in L.A. reading this should go see any of the films I mark with a *. These are really good independant films. Go see them.
