Major thank you to our photographers Kyle James and Brittney O'Connor as well as a few contributions from friends of our team. This event was too massive to sum up in a single post and some wonderful pictures. At somewhere between 225-250 people it was our largest screening to date, filled with friends, loved ones, colleagues, fans, supporters and many members of our Lehigh Valley community attending their first Living Proof Pictures film. It was a wonderful, magical experience not soon forgotten by our team or our audience. You kinda had to be there

Finger Laced Crown WORLD PREMIERE was a marvelously beautiful night and our team is taking a much deserved rest. We look forward to sharing the pictures taken by our photographers Kyle and Brit in the near future when we'll more adequately express our gratitude and joy we experienced. For now, congratulations to our entire cast & crew behind FLC and thank you to all those who attended and helped to make the night happen.

And meanwhile in New York City our feature film Bitter Taste of Ginger received the award for Best Drama and our leading lady Sarah Cugini received a nomination for Best Actress. Thank you to the judges and programing team at New York True Venture Film Festival for recognizing our work. We hope it was a beautiful event
