Countdown to Aspen FilmFest!

In just five short days, Brownstones to Red Dirt will be one of just twenty films to screen at the 32nd annual Aspen FilmFest. All of the screening details are here. We are so excited to be a part of this truly independent festival that aims to focus on the "human spirit." As the festival's Artistic Director Laura Thielen recently told the Aspen Daily News, "We tend to look at ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”

That's exactly how we see the kids that star in Brownstones - Balla, Emmanuel, Augusta, Abdul, Fred, Destiny, Malik and Isaiah. They are ordinary kids doing extraordinary things, as they reach out and offer their hearts to strangers on the other side of the world.
