WWD Family Caregiver Documentary Update

I have been so overwhelmed with getting Wine, Women, and Dementia up off the ground I have have hardly had time to keep up with my dementia communities. I believe what the family caregivers have to say in the film is going to more impactful then my blather, so I hope it will be worth it!

An update on where we are at with the film...

We are focusing on film festivals through the majority of 2023, applying through November. We haven't booked any yet (dangit). However, we are in the Final Round for one in L.A. in June (hoorays!).

Festivals are very clear about no public screenings or broadcasts prior to their event. So, our current public distribution strategy is to wait until the end of the year to offer WWD for sale, either physical DVDs/BluRays or video on demand.

We are creating private preview screenings and working on invite only community screenings with potential partners during the year. This does not affect our festival eligibility. We will be offering these through various social media influencers and subscribers to https://www.winewomenanddementia.com/ so if you are interested do check out the website (new design!) and subscribe. 

And that's the scoop, poops. Keep on caring on, caregivers!

p.s. Super stoked about the new UI for the forums!

    Thanks, everybody, for your support and enthusiasm! Putting this out into the world is both exhilarating and terrifying! If you all feel it does our caregiver journey justice, than exhilarating. If not.... uh...
