A Gift for the Village

In June of 2007, 7 friends left the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on a trip to Nepal. Our mission was to deliver a painting of an amazing man in a remote village which sits at 12,000 feet in the Himalayas. The film that documents this cultural exchange is now finished, and in the summer of 2010, it was carried back to Nepal and shown there. The film premiered in the US on September 16 at the Taubman Museum in Roanoke before beginning a new journey around the country.

Premiere Date in Roanoke, VA

Those of us who will be unable to go to the Nepali premiere of our film in Jomsom in June with Jenna and Jane should mark their calendars for September 23, 2010, when our film will be shown at the Taubman Museum. More details to follow - we'll be limited to 300 seats (two showings of 150 each) and we look forward to seeing you there. There will also be a showing in Blacksburg later in the fall, and we'll keep you in the loop on that one too!

Many Thanks to you all for the hours devoted to this magnificent Video!!

And best wishes to those traveling for a safe and wonderful trip and a splendid reception for the production, truly A Gift for the Village!!!; March 27, 2010 at 11:31 PM
