15 Jan 2006: MUD showing a success
MUD played at the Ellsworth Grand Theatre tonight, with an opening musical act by Tree By Leaf's Garret Soucy (www.treebyleaf.org). The night was a great success, 100 paying customers and 60 or so comp tickets, giving all the proceeds to the Grand's film and video program. We showed the advance trailer for I'M SORRY and everyone really seemed to be into it alot. Audience reactions to MUD were very positive and 3/4 of the audience stayed for a question and answer session following the film. I'll have a bunch of pics online soon in the MUD image gallery. Kinda late right now, but it was really an amazing night. andy |
