Until We Meet Again Australia! XoXxoOoX

COLORED CONFEDERATES was very well received by an appreciable audience. I am very grateful considering the America’s Civil War is a relatively unknown subject, at least in Australia. A special thanks goes out to The Victoria Independent Film Festival and Peter Angel.

My post-screening Q &A this weekend at the Beaufort International Film Festival went extremely well and the audience and staff were extremely friendly and film-literate!!! Special shout outs to the Beaufort Film Society, foremost fest organizers Ron Tucker and Rebecca Hood Tucker, and Lowcountry Weekly‘s Mark Shaffer and Jeff Evans! I am eternally grateful! Phenomenal photos taken by Susan DeLoach Photography! Bravo!!!
