"Under Our Skin" Producers Honor Doug Fearn
This month Doug Fearn, President of LDASEPA, was honored for his work with the help of others in promoting the showing of 'Under Our Skin" to a wide variety of audiences in the region.
From Open Eye Pictures: "Every month we honor individuals in the community who are doing exemplary work to promote "UNDER OUR SKIN". We know that whatever success we have is built by partnerships with our viewers and supporters, and that grassroots efforts are the key to this success. The people we have honored use their talents and resources to promote the film in press and media, organize screenings and briefings with policymakers, facilitate repeat community screening events, help put DVDs into the right hands, and bring the film into the corporate sector. We are greatly indebted to these individuals and countless others. Thank you!" Visit our online appreciation corner April 2009 Newsletter--Click to view in browser
