COLLABORATOR in Manchester, UK Next Week

Yup.  You can see Martin Donovan’s debut feature on the big screen next week (October 7th) if you are in Manchester, UK.  Yup, this is the very same film that David Morse won the Best Actor Award for in Karlovy Vary.  And it is the same one that I developed and Executive Produced.  Let me know if you go.  I think you’ll dig it.  And if you don’t like it, send me your receipt, and I will reimburse you!
