Congrats to my step-sister-in-law (Bigger Brian's wife, pictured here) whose recent documentary BUSTING OUT has been selected to premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival!
Here's the information she sent along:
The Seattle International Film Festival is the longest and largest film festival in the United States, and one of the top five festivals in North America. We are happy to be premiering in our hometown - where so many of you have supported us in making this show happen. And as you know, it's been a long time coming. We hope you'll celebrate with us.
SIFF may be the only Seattle screening of the show before it goes to television, so please don‚t wait. Tickets sell out fast. We hope to see you at the show!
Best,
Laurel Spellman Smith

ABOUT BUSTING OUT
Breasts have a unique ability to arouse, inflame and frighten - they can
nurture life and they can take it away. Busting Out is a provocative
exploration of the history and politics of breast obsession in America. Told
from the point of view of co-producer Francine Strickwerda, who lost her
mother to breast cancer as a child, the documentary is a revealing glimpse
into the world of being female.
