"Hate Preachers" World Premiere

The latest Fresh Toone from Dave Puls, "Hate Preachers," will be making its debut at the 2006 Tiburon International Film Festival in Tiburon, California.

Film Description:

Hate preachers, for too long, have been fostering hate crimes. This animated short takes a look at the destructive rhetoric and encourages all of us to speak out to offset their fabrications. Reasonable people must stand up and show that we are not intimidated by their bullying or we will find ourselves living in a world of their making.

The festival will run March 9-17, 2006. Find out more at http://www.tiburonfilmfestival.com

SUBWAY SCREENING A HUGE SUCCESS

Our premiere screening at Irondequoit High School for
THE END OF THE LINE - ROCHESTER'S SUBWAY really
packed 'em in! Roughly 500 attended that evening,
including several Rochesterians who remember riding the
subway back in the day. Filmmakers Fred Armstrong and
Jim Harte took questions and talked about the documentary's
production. Special thanks to the Rochester Audio Visual
Association, who hosted the event.

For those who couldn't attend, here's an online video clip
