Hi everyone! I hope this blog post finds you all doing well and thinking wonderful thoughts for the girls of Soma Home, the subjects of our film! 
The film continues to do well. About one month ago we got in to the Mecal International Shorts Film Festival in Barcelona which will take place next month–mid April. Nandini will be going to the fest and I will be staying behind… 
I’m sad to be missing out on what will be an amazing experience, but its great that one of us will be able to support the film.
For my part, I’ve been fielding requests for and giving talks after small, private screenings of the film. We’re still hammering out details of a contract with one of our grantors and so we can’t release the film publicly yet, but we hope to do small “house party”-type of screenings to inform folks about these wonderful girls, the work that Urmi Basu and New Light are doing, and to communicate that India is much more than a place where there is terrible poverty. One of the things I say in my post-screening Q&As, actually, is “Go to India!” I want people to visit so they can see how wonderful and beautiful it is.
That’s all for now. Best wishes to everyone!
Alexia
