Desdemona: A Love Story

The 25th annual Boston Film Festival concluded this past Thursday night with Desdemona: A Love Story taking home TOP HONORS!  Festival director Robin Dawson presented us with the fest’s top awards for Best Feature, Best Cinematography & Best Actor for Jorge A. Jimenez! 

We couldn’t be more thrilled about the film’s success in Boston.  We’re in great company, as last year’s Best Feature was Appaloosa, and Jorge is sharing acting honors with this year’s Best Actress winner Uma Thurman.

Next up?  The St. Louis International Film Festival and the Naples International Film Festival, both in November.  Desdemona: A Love Story is on a roll – congrats to all involved!

Here is a photo with the cast and crew just before our New England premiere on Closing Night:

First of all, we previously posted the announcement about Boston Film Festival’s selection of our film, along with the screening details.  Well, that has changed a bit – the festival director called us and told us that they love the film so much, they’ve decided to showcase it as the festival’s CLOSING NIGHT FILM!  This is huge, as festivals are known for their Opening and Closing Night films.  And with Uma Thurman’s new film Motherhood opening, we’re in great company!  We are now screening at 7pm on Thursday, September 24 at the Landmark Theatre in Kendall Square.  Please visit the Boston Film Festivals website for complete details and a link to buy tickets:

Secondly, more BIG NEWS!  Desdemona was just selected by the St. Louis International Film Festival!  This is another big, prestigious festival whose past participants include some little films like Slumdog Millionaire and Juno, just to name a couple.  We are slated to screen on closing night in St. Louis on Sunday, November 22.  More details as we get closer.
