Global Acceptance
We just received notice that Uncounted was accepted into the Globians Film Festival in Potsdam, Germany in August [Road trip? --ed.] with an additional screening in Berlin at Babylon:Mitte, Berlin's preeminent art-house facility, in September.
Uncounted, International Film of Mystery!
But it's not just this one festival that has us excited. Uncounted has been shown by groups like Democrats Abroad at screenings in Germany, France, India, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Cambodia, and England, and individual copies of the DVD have also sold in Belgium, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Switerland, South Africa, and Egypt. Upcoming international screenings include Melbourne, Australia at The Loop on May 28, Gottingen (Germany), Brussels (Belgium), Oxford and Cambridge (England), and Mubai and Chennai (India). Yeah, baby, yeah!
