2010! 2010! 2010!
TEAM GENIUS made 2009 fantastic for SMILE 'TIL IT HURTS, and 2010 promises to be equally rewarding.
We premiered!
We partied!
We sold out shows at film festivals across the US!
We received a Best Director Award!
We had theatrical screenings at the IFC Center in NYC and ArcLight in LA!
We qualified for Oscar consideration!
We delighted movie critics and generated thousands of fans!
We sold our first broadcast --- abroad in 2010!
(Ah yes, we are still in debt but hope our distribution plan will offset that reality in 2010.)
2010 opens with more screenings of SMILE 'TIL IT HURTS at soon-to-be-announced film festivals, and we are working toward theatrical screenings in various indie art houses.
SO PLEASE STAY TUNED!
Everyone at SMILE 'TIL IT HURTS wishes you continued happy viewing in 2010!
