Blackfish VIP screening is a hit!
June 12th, 2013
Last night we took over the Covent Garden Hotel in London for an extra special Blackfish event. The film's director Gabriela Cowperthwaite and producer Manny Oteyza were in London for our special Apple Store Event on Monday, and before heading to Sheffield for the 2013 Doc/Fest we put on a special VIP screening and Q&A. The Q&A was hosted by journalist Andrew Collins and guests included documentary producer Simon Chinn, Will Travers of the Born Free Foundation, The British Council, Greenpeace, Kate Muir of The Times, and Dogwoof legends Nick Francis (Black Gold) and Cairo Cannon (Dreams of a Life) among a whole host of other people.
The night was a huge success, with some great comments and feedback from attendees. Plus everyone got their Dogwoof goody bag with one of our Blackfish T-Shirts + our most recent DVD release, Chasing Ice! See below for some of the pictures and twitter reactions fron the night - more can be found in this Facebook Album
Blackfish will be in UK cinemas on 26th July. For more information on the film, visit blackfishmovie.com, and you can also follow the film on Facebook and Twitter
