HAVE WE MISSED ANYTHING?
	Many of you have written to blackfilm.com voicing your opinions and thoughts on the current state of the industry and its future. Certainly, there are many issues that need improvement and we implore you to always take a stand to make a difference. After showcasing "Pandora's Box" in Chicago and Washington D.C., one thing we have learned is that the demand is very high for more films created by and for our community. As we review and collect films for our programming efforts, we still would like the security of knowing that we haven't missed something hot. We want to hear from you. If there's a short film that you have seen or a feature film that you think the world should know about, tell us. It's important that we address the problems facing the industry and that we routinely take a stand against unfair practices, but we all want to see a good movie at the end of the day. Right? So send your thoughts and recommendations to info@blackfilm.com. We certainly appreciate your support and interest in blackfilm.com. Till next time, the blackfilm.com crew Coming Soon	BUY TICKETS for Chicago
