Dirt! From Central Park to the Smithsonian

In NY's Central Park Dirt! played to an overflowing crowd at the Community Cinema hosted screening – I was more than pleased to find them adding chairs, and then more chairs, from the nearby Central Park Zoo to accommodate the growing gathering.  In D.C. we had over 150 people at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History where once again the audience loved the film. One man from the audience approached me to passionately exclaim that the soil issue is too important to ignore and that the film should be in every theater across the country. I didn't kiss him, but how could I not love the guy.

In Washington, I had two very good and extremely thoughtful on-camera interviews: first with LinkTV and then with the Ask Umbra writer at Grist.org. The bonding with both was immediate and Team Dirt! looks forward to getting dirtier with our righteous brethren at LinkTV and Grist with whom we share so many common goals.

Check back here for links to both interviews soon and make sure to come back to DirtTheMovie.org often - we’ve been watering our Outreach Campaign and opportunities are sprouting up daily!
