Screening Score

This past weekend, short film Fate Scores screened at the 2009 Boston International Film Festival, adding tally mark four to the screening score for the project. The showing was a success and an opportunity to catch up with many of the cast and crew who worked on the project.

Fate scores was paired with another short film, Compact Only, and a documentary feature film, 40 Years of Silence: An Indonesian Tragedy, in session 37, with a brief question and answer session after each film.

It was fun to see many familiar faces in the crowd and meet new individuals, too. Afterwards, a party to thank the cast and crew was hosted by actor-director Albert M. Chan and assistant director Richard Possemato. (Yes, there will be photos to follow.)
