If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.

So my film rarely gets views on video, yet yesterday, 9/11 saw about 175 views. Hmmm… To bad Vimeo doesn’t have a really great InSight program like YouTube does.
The mystery continues…

Mosquito wins!
I’m thrilled and honored to announce that “In Bed with a Mosquito” won the top prize for doc short at last week’s inaugural CMJ CineMinis Short Film Competition in NYC. The competition was stiff, lots of incredible stories all beautifully shot. But probably the most special part of the evening was that this was Betty’s very first time seeing the film on a big screen and with an audience. Let’s just say, she had some instant fans!
So eternal thanks to the crowd, the judging panel and the CMJ film festival crew who put on a wonderful evening of fantastic films.
