Passing Poston tells the moving and haunting story of four former internees of the Poston Relocation Center. Each
person shadowed by a tragic past, each struggling in their own painful way to reconcile the trauma of their youth, each still
searching and yearning during the last chapter of their lives, to find their rightful place in this country.
Unflinching Triumph makes its second EAST BAY screening!
As a small off-beat indie, word of mouth is key. If we continue to fill the house, we'll hopefully
book other theaters, extend runs and get a wider release, maybe at a theater in your hood.

Marie, who attended that meeting is using Indie-GoGo to finance her film. Check it out:
"I really need your help to get the word out about my latest project. I have teamed up with
indiegogo.com to promote & raise funds for Ballerina. The issue is now I have only 40 days left to raise $20,000. The
money is being paired up with other money I am putting in to pay the cast & crew what they deserve. Without this money,
I don't think I will be able to hire the quality people I want.
I am relying on people like you and Norcal film to
get the word out so I can be in pre-production this summer & give Sac-town another GREAT opportunity! Go to the site. You should register as a filmmaker - it's free! I spoke with the owner of the site last Friday,
& they really have a good thing going here! Will you please help me to make Ballerina a reality? The synopsis & what
not is there & there is more 411 at thechristinamarie.com under filmmaking projects. www.indiegogo.com
