What a way to kick off the festival tour!

Still buzzing from a fun (and successful!) weekend in Chicago. Huge thanks to Chad the Birdcast and Logan Arcade for the hospitality and support for the film.

It was so great seeing the Thieme crew both on-screen and in the audience on Saturday!

Big shoutout to Surging Films & Theatrics for putting together such a fantastic festival and inviting us to be part of it... it truly means a lot to share this labor of love alongside so many great films.

And finally, much love to Pancake Productions / Googolplexia for being there every step of the way. Can’t wait to hit the road again soon!
