On The Road With Interpreters Wanted: Film Festival Circuit (Part 1 of 2)

Interpreters Wanted is my second feature documentary and a film that took 14 years to complete. It’s a story of brotherhood built during war, resilience in the face of death and fulfilling the promise of never leaving our people behind.

These next two blog posts I will share about a dream that truly came true in my life; showing a movie I’m super proud of, at film festivals around the U.S., with an amazing woman by my side, bucket list check! From our World Premiere at Gig Harbor in Washington, to the Heartland International Film Festival in Indiana, to a special screening to raise money for our partner No One Left Behind in Utah, to the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival, all the way back home to Los Angeles to the amazing Dances With Films Film Festival.

If you’ve been following along this journey you’d have seen we’re now an award winning film, we’re currently sitting at %100 on Rotten Tomatoes and have been getting great articles written about the film.
