TAOS Cast and Crew Screening - Taos, NM
Below are some great photos from the Taos cast and crew screening, held April 6, 2008 at the Taos Center for the Arts Theatre, with an opening reception next door at the Stables Gallery. Most of the local cast and crew were able to make the show and Rib Hillis, Julie Dorris and Lora Martinez-Cunningham were able to make it out from Los Angeles. We even had some local dignitaries in the audience, including the Mayor Bobby Duran who thoroughly enjoyed the film. Photos courtesy of Lenny Foster of the Lenny Foster Gallery.

TAOS Cast and Crew Screening - Seattle, WA
The Seattle TAOS cast and crew screening was a great success with many of the local members of the cast and crew in attendance and both Rib Hillis and Lora Martinez-Cunningham making it up from Los Angeles for the event. Held on December 29th at the Experience Music Projects famed JBL Theatre, over 150 cast and crew, friends and family watched the first screening of the film and rose for a standing ovation following the end credits. The initial reviews from this completely unbiased crowd were unanimous great story, great film and the celebration continued well into the night at the after party hosted by SoDo Pop.
