On Sunday evening, we had an incredible screening at AIFF! Special thanks to festival director, Guilio Scalinger for his kindness and hospitality. Director Courtney Ware had the honor of participating in a filmmaker's panel that morning. After meeting some of the other filmmakers and audiences of Tucson, we definitely felt that we were sharing the film with family. We had a great Q&A after the screening which covered everything from our incredible casting process to working with animals. We can't wait to bring the film to the next festival and audience!
