Just a quick update on The Glass House Dallas premier that happened this past weekend.  First, WOW!  It was a great time, great movies and lots of fun. Thanks to Bart and his staff for giving us a wonderful weekend of movies! Oh, and photos will be posted later this week, so be sure and check back.

The film (The Glass House) premiered on Sunday at 2:15.  My mom, Marie Hibbard, and sister Leisa Speegle drove in from Oklahoma City to be there and my cousins, Sherrie Williams,   Janice Wilbanks and Laura Terrell came in from several areas of the Metroplex to support Melissa and Hamid’s film.  My daughter Sarah Sellers and her hubby Matt were also there to see the film for the first time.  Obviously, we are proud of our family of filmakers!

I had tons of positive comments and some good questions from the audience about the documentary process.  The film and the stories of the girls had a very positive impact on all that saw it.

A special shout out to my friends and business associates who attended – Steve and Tony from Gold’s Gym and my dear friend Kadena Tate Simon and old pal Randy Jeter – thanks for “answering the call” and coming out for the day to support the film!  Love love to all!

The evening ended around ten after the Texas round of movies (so entertaining!) and the awards for the movies were announced.  I was proud to be able to accept for Melissa and Hamid the award for Best Documentary… I pretended I was at the Academy Awards, well…not really, but it did cross my mind!

Thanks again to everyone for coming out to support The Glass House.  Please pass the word that The Glass House will have it’s US Television premier on November 16 at 9:00 on the Sundance Channel.    Yea!

Love and Peace,

Sandy

sm glass house The Glass House finally comes to Dallas. Join me this Sunday at the Angelika Theater in Dallas (Mockingbird Station) at 2:15 for the premier of this moving documentary that breaks cultural and racial barriers.

With a virtually invisible camera, The Glass House takes us on a never-before-seen tour of the underclass of Iran. This groundbreaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to. It introduces us to a group of courageous women working to instill a sense of empowerment and hope into the lives of otherwise discarded teenage girls.

Melissa Hibbard (my niece) and her hubby Hamid Rahmanian, are the film makers of the award winning documentary film The Glass House. Melissa wrote and produced and Hamid directed the movie.
