Film Festival 2008

Our inaugural event last October was a smash success -- our venue sold out, with nearly 500 guests enjoying 8 thought-provoking and amusing films, as well as popcorn, dinner & dessert provided by Whole Foods Market. Special guest start Gloria Reuben (of ER fame), joined us for the evening, as well as 98.9 WCLZ morning show host Danielle Fornier and Whole Foods' "Eco Czar," Lee Kane.
