News from Rob Margolies and "Lifelines"


It is my pleasure to announce the theatrical release of LIFELINES (previously titled: WHEREVER YOU ARE).

WHEN: APRIL 3rd (playing everyday for at least two weeks with 5 show times daily).

WHERE: QUAD CINEMA (13th St. between 5th and 6th – New York, NY 10011 -- www.QuadCinema.com).

VISIT: www.DifferentDuckFilms.com for all information pertaining to LIFELINES.

Also, I am now on FACEBOOK to help promote the movie. If you are a Facebooker please search for the movie and myself. The group name may still be under WHEREVER YOU ARE, however, Facebook has been notified and they are going to be changing it to LIFELINES any day now...

After many months of hard work, patience, and success at film festivals, the movie has picked up some strong buzz. For the next two months I will be working very closely with Workhouse Publicity, doing everything possible to make this movie a success.

It would mean the world to me if all of you, who I know, told and/or took your own friends and families to go see the movie when it opens at the Quad! With positive critical support and great word-of-mouth, LIFELINES will widen its release and possibly play in 100+ theatres by the start of summer.

In a few weeks from now I will be sending out a reminder email along with the official, original poster (currently being created) as well as an electronic invitation, more information, and other goodies! If anyone knows of any public NY establishments that would hang a poster in their window or something, please let me know!

Thank you in advanced for all of your support and encouragement thus far.

News from Jon Bowden and "The Full Picture"


"The Full Picture," winner of the grand prize for "Best Feature" at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, will have its West Coast Premiere and homecoming at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival this February! For those who have not been following the film, here's the pitch:

The Full Picture is an honest and often comical story about how the secrets we keep are more revealing than the truths we tell. The dramatic comedy revolves around Mark Foster, a seemingly regular guy who must introduce his girlfriend to his dysfunctional family while dodging her questions about the Fosters' sordid past.

Our dates are as follows:

Saturday, February 14th @ 7:15pm - Roxie Cinema, San Francisco (16th Street btw Mission & Valencia)
Sunday, February 15th @ 2:45pm - Roxie Cinema, San Francisco (16th Street btw Mission & Valencia)
Saturday, February 21st @ 9:30pm - Shattuck Cinemas, Berkeley (2230 Shattuck Ave.)

You can purchase your tickets here.

We are anticipating large crowds so please buy your tickets early. Also, please forward this email to anyone you know in the Bay Area who enjoys film, or might be interested in the festival. It should be a great night out!

If you are a facebook user, please sign up at The Full Picture's fan page here.
