Dear DCIFF supporter:

Thank you for another great year! We had more sold out sessions than ever before. Our films hit found the audicence that they needed and you support and response to the filmmakers was fantastic.

 

We ask that you stay involved, join the planning team and lets plan for 2010.

 

We will be headed to Cannes and will hold a Independent Film Summit planning meeting to discuss next year's agenda. Don't sit on the sidelines, participate.

 

Looking forward to working on 2010 with you.

Sincerely,
Carol Bidault de l’Isle
