  • I am the producer for MAMA DESERVES TO BE SERVED - a dark comedy about death and grief. Thank you to the organizers for selecting our film! Due to a scheduling conflict both the director and I were unable to participate in-person, but we were able to have some of our local friends attend. They especially enjoyed the great energy in the room and said it was a fun crowd! Continued success to the organizers!
