Mixed Remixed Festival

Festival Fave Sleeping with the Fishes on HBO and AMAZON!

by

IMG_1319We are so proud of Mixed Remixed Festival fave, Nicole Gomez Fisher.  A few weeks ago we were happy to report that Sleeping with the Fishes (which we screened at the Festival in June) got 5 nominations for THE IMAGEN AWARDS and our very own Nicole Gomez Fisher took home the prize for Best Director!  You can see the award show and Nicole’s great-looking dress when the award show airs on Saturday on PBS!  Check your local listings. You can find Southern California information here.  For East Coast showings in October check here.

But the news gets better and better.  If you missed the Festival screening of Nicole’s great film, you now have a chance to watch Sleeping with the Fishes on HBO (yes HBO!), or better yet, buy a copy from Amazon and add it to your Mixed experience film collection.  The DVD official release is Oct. 21, but you can pre-order now!

It’s imperative that we support our artists so our stories of the Mixed experience continue to be told!  So if you’re looking for one more way to help support Nicole and her great flick: add Sleeping with the Fishes to your Netflix queue!

Congrats Nicole. I just put in my order now!–Heidi Durrow

Mash-up Americans Great New Website & Resource

I was excited to discover a few months ago a great new duo that’s helping to illuminate the Mixed experience.  The Mash-up Americans is the brainchild of Amy Choi and Rebecca Lehrer, two good friends who have backgrounds in journalism and business development, and are “in the mix” by birth and by marriage and by friendship.  The duo launched the newly designed Mash-up Americans website last week.  I know you’ll find a lot of great stories of interest to the Mixed Remixed crowd.  Check out their great work and say hello to them on Twitter too.  You’ll find them at @awesomechoi and @beccale! –Heidi Durrow
