Invite to LA Fix screening + general update

[Tao Ruspoli]

Hello everyone,

So we won in Santa Barbara! ("The Heineken Red Star Award, set aside
for "the most progressive and gifted independent film director," went
to Tao Ruspoli for his "Fix," starring Shawn Andrews and Olivia Wilde,
which offers up a one day-odyssey through the Los Angeles as two
documentary filmmakers try to get a young man from jail to rehab."
--Hollywood Reporter)

The prize includes a full page story in Variety running this Friday,
so be sure to check it out!

We are doing a special screening at the USC Norris Theater on Sunday,
March 2nd at 2pm. If you'd like to come YOU MUST RSVP TO
hobdylicious at gmail.com. The theater seats 350 people, so you may bring
guests, but let us know early and how many. The screening will be
followed by a Q&A with the makers of FIX.

FIX review highlights so far:

"Fix has the gritty energy of "Go", the speedy wit of "Arrested
Development", and a magnificent visual panache!" -IndieWire

"brash, cool and energetic...a
wild ride" -Variety

"Ruspoli has succeeded in creating a film that not only compliments
Los Angeles' multi-faceted landscape, but meditates on it. While Fix
is everything one would hope - a frenetic, Odyssey-like journey
through an underbelly of drug culture and addiction, it's when the
film reaches moments of silence that its true voice speaks clear,
deeply exploring notions of family, loss, and ultimately redemption. "
- Daniel Casey, Slamdance Programmer

"Funny, sad, dangerous, endearing; all the hallmarks of a big-money
blockbuster are here, delivered with an effortless reality and
spontaneity that no budget can buy..." M. Bradley edhat.com

We are also screening in March at the East Lansing Film Festival, The
Skopje Film Festival (in the Republic of Macedonia!), and we are
waiting to hear back from several other Festivals around the world.
The Fix site will soon have a section for upcoming screenings, so I
won't have to keep emailing you! (www.fixthemovie.com)

I have started adding my favorite youtubes (focusing on the
incredible, obscure but wonderful music one can find there) on my
youtube channel which you can see at:

I hope all is well,
