[Oe List ...] Lynn True-World Premier of Summer Pasture-Durham, NC Film Fest

[E B]

This film made its way to Minneapolis and we saw it. The only thing I can add to Lynda's review is it is an awesome film! Please do find time if or when it finds it way to your city as we did. I felt pride that I once held this little girl in my hands at Centrum. And now ......

 Below is a note of appreciation that I sent to Lynn True and Nelson Walker after viewing the World Premier showing of their film Summer Pasture at the Durham Film Fest this past Saturday.  What a delight to see a young woman that I have met only briefly before and to see the quality of the work she is doing.   We were in Fifth City with the Trues when they went to Korea to adopt this beautiful little baby.  We met her after that and didn't see her again until she was about three when she and Jeremiah were in Kemper Preschool together while we were in India.  I think she was about ten years old when the Trues stopped by to visit us in Virginia as they were moving westward.    Our 14 year old granddaughter who is into drama went with me to the viewing.  About 350 people were in the sold-out crowd for this particular event.  (Other films are going on at the same time.)  I had word from Lynn today that Summer Pasture received Special Jury
 Honorable Mention for the Inspiration Award out of a total of 8 awards given and over 100 films being shown over the four day event.     There will be other viewings in other cities that I'm sure you'll hear about.  Next year, we want to plan to go for more viewings, but this was a very special initiation into the film world with someone that we know.  I'm so glad that Sandra sent a note about this and that we were able to attend.     This is the link to see the preview of the film:   telegraph21.com.  I hope you will make every effort to attend when it is in your area and to give these young artists your supporting high votes.  They are most deserving!  With our network, we can make a substantial contribution with our votes.     With deep appreciation for one of "our" young people,  Lynda Cock

      Dear Lynn and   Nelson,       What a   delightful day we had in Durham at the World Premier of Summer Pasture.    Thank you so much for  helping us get   tickets .   We picked a high seat so we   could see the subtitles clearly which was a very helpful hint.  An   impressive  crowd!         Amazing   photography of an amazing story of one family's struggle. What an adventure it   must have been to explore Tibet and to get to know that family so   intimately as you filmed. Thank you to the Yak who provide so   much!!! You two are to be commended for your passion and care of getting   this story onto the screen and into the consciousness of those of us who have   so much and think we are  often   complaining  because we can't buy as much as we have   been accustomed.   It is a great journey   story of a young family living the simple life and struggling with   the future for themselves and their   children.        
 This is a film   that reminds us that to care for our neighbor includes not only those near to   us, but the environment and those in far distant parts of the globe.    We are   made more aware of the diversity of the "neighborhood" we live in on planet   earth.  We can see through the story you have woven that though people   have different life styles, we have some powerful commonality in our care   for our children's future, in our daily cares that must be met, in our longing   for shared responsibility in our tasks, the need for community as well   as our longing for time to sit with our hands in our laps, as Yama (the young woman   character) so desires.       I'm sorry   that we were not able to stay around longer to meet Nelson.  (He was being interviewed before the show   and Kaitlyn had to get back for other obligations.)    You both have a great presence in being upfront and responding to the Q &   A session.  We voted with a 10
 for your   film and hope that you will get due recognition for your work on this   project.  Kaitlyn was so pleased to get to meet you and to share in this   kind of "theatre."  Keep us posted on the outcome of the   awards. Share links with the interviews that were done.          We send thanks and good wishes!  We will   continue to look for great things coming from you two.         Lynda and KaitlynNo virus found in this incoming message.
