[altroots] Fwd: Oxford Film Festival September 7-11

Friends,
 
If anyone is near Oxford, check out our film festival.  I play a real jerk of 
an old bitty in "Glorious Mail" premiereing on Saturday.  Also I did casting 
and location for a music video directed by Thad Lee ( MFA student in film at U 
of New Orleans.)  And the one yurt in Mississippi is featured in a short called 
"Red Dawn."
 
One of the young people we are housing from New Orleans was hired to play for 
the opening party -- and we have other evacuees coming to the films.  
 
Much work to be done for our friends on the coast.  I'm getting word bit by bit 
regarding the grassroots storytellers I work with in South Mississippi.
