"Tre" Check Out The Brand-New 35mm Print Tomorrow night in SF!

Here is another message from the director of "Tre", Eric Byler

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear friends,

I heard from Cinema Libre Studio and the 35 mm print is on it's way to San Francisco for its WORLD PREMIERE tomorrow! Long story short: technical difficulties forced them to release the film on digital in Los Angeles and Chicago -- which means San Francisco will be the FIRST CITY in the world to see the film as it was intended to be seen, on 35 mm film. In fact, I'll be seeing it for the first time myself on Friday night, because I'll be doing interviews all day prior to the 7:20 screening. So come Friday and sweat it out with me. I'm hoping it looks good. Hope to see you at that one or one of the others listed below.

--Eric

Late Holiday Greetings

Season Greetings! (little late)

Last a couple days, I halted all my work and managing all my contacts and sent out Christmas greetings.

It may be just a ritual.
Some people hate season greetings.

I am one of those who don't really follow the custom.

But as I go through my e-mails, and letters, the memory of that particular person comes and goes.

Sometime, we did something crazy, fun or painful.

But I realized that chain of these encounters made me who I am.

I was just a guy who was just dreaming. Now I am stepping forward. Thank you for all of you who support me this year and the past years.

Season Greetings from Christmas Tree Katz.
