Murph schmoozing with artist types at SuperFest.

Berkeley, CA -- Over the June 3rd weekend, I attended the 26th Annual SUPERFEST Film Festival. Amazing is the word that comes to mind for three major reasons:

1.) All fifteen films with disability themes from all over the world were excellent productions, every one.

2.) Liane Yasumoto and her staff and all of the people at SUPERFEST were simply wonderful.

3.) After almost seven years of pursuing the business in LA, I had never heard of SUPERFEST and had no idea there was so much great work being produced by disabled film makers.

V.A.S.S. is already working on spreading the word about SUPERFEST and promoting two of its best 2006 films: "The Man Who Couldn't Dance" and "39 Pounds of Love". You will connect with disability and humor completely if you simply watch these two outstanding films.
