Yesterday we received a very encouraging update on a previous story.

When we wrote the story in mid-December, film maker Jim Meyers was looking for some investment to tide the company over until he received the foreign rights royalties and made progress on selling the US rights.

He ended up having a choice between investors in LA and another group in Sacramento. He went with the local guys - good choice! And now he has been notified that the film - Her Minor Thing - was accepted into the Phoenix Film Festival (where it will have 3 screenings, Mar 24-26). The film is also on the short list to get into another festival in April.

Like a true entrepreneur, Jim reminds me he will be looking for investors again soon for his next movie!

Many congrats, Jim. Let's hope this movie gets lots of playtime and viewers around the world see how great Sacramento is.
