Rich Feldmann Summertime Exhibit Of Interest
Mr. Feldmann began contributing to The New Yorker in 2012.
Greetings & thanks for your comment. I know that Ms. Donnelly and Ms. Hughes are working on inclusion in numerous festivals this year. Beyond that, their doc will eventually be available to all on The New Yorker's website (not exactly sure the date on that, but it will happen).
I am hoping that “Women Laughing “ will soon be available for viewers and readers nationwide- especially in “flyover country” theaters and settings such as Arizona. Are any plans for distribution being made?
Thanks for all you do.
