A friend of Via Affirmativa, Leo Jaramillo, and his friends have produced a film called “818.” They entered it in the L.A. Film Festival called “168,” meaning the film has to be completed in 168 hours (See: 168project.com). We at Via Affirmativa have an investment in this film so I wanted to keep you up to date on the status of the film. The following is an email from Leo. Hope you are as excited about this as I am.

I just wanted to update everyone on the on the status of our film, entitled “818.” The whirlwind has come and gone, and now we are 1.5 weeks away from the Festival. We are screening in the evening (which is a good sign) and just today we found out the nominations. We have 8 nominations.

Our film is nominated for the following:

We will be posting the high res, HD version on the website soon, and look forward to seeing you in LA on the 23rd/24th if you can make it. Our web site is http://www.commonhero.com/.
