SEE THE FILM General List
On this holiday weekend, we're asking our fiercest supporters to rally their friends and family to the theater. One of our Virginia based Beasts, Connie Gottwald, recently sent in this photo of a group trip to the theater she organized. When the film was re-released in Richmond, Virginia last week, she rounded up the last of her circle of friends who hadn't seen the film!
We're incredibly blessed to have this opportunity to re-release the film and we just want to share it with as many of you as possible. That's why we lean on community organizers like Connie to take the lead!
Thanks to everyone and have a wonderful week!
On Wednesday, February 13th, the cast and crew of Beasts of the Southern Wild including Quvenzhané Wallis, Dwight Henry, and Benh Zeitlin, were invited by the First Lady Michelle Obama to screen the film and participate in a talk back with 80 students from the Washington, D.C. and New Orleans area. We can't begin to describe what an honor it was to not only receive the invitation but to be able to participate in a conversation about the film with the First Lady and all the students. Luckily, the day was caught on tape and immortalized on YouTube for all to view.
Michelle Obama on Beasts:
"It's a movie that makes us all think deeply about the people we love in our lives who make us who we are. It shows us the strength of our communities, no matter what they look like. It shows us that those communities can give us the power to overcome any kind of obstacles. And it also tells a compelling story of poverty and devastation, but also of hope and love in the midst of some great challenges."
