Film Release Update
June 11th, 2010The past few months have been very exciting as many people have expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for Forks Over Knives. Your support means more than you can imagine. And thank you to everyone who participated in test screenings and provided feedback. Your thoughtful input guided us in editing and has led to many positive changes.
The distribution plan is taking shape. We anticipate rolling the film out in several cities in November, which will include an east and west coast premiere. Given a strong turnout, we will expand to dozens of additional markets. Please stay tuned for the details, which we will post as soon as they are finalized.
In the meantime, there will be special advance screenings. On June 23rd, the film will be shown at the E Street Theater in Washington D.C, as it takes center stage in a fundraiser for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). This sold out event includes a Q&A with PCRM founder Neal Barnard, M.D., Michael Greger, M.D., Gene Baur, and Bruce Friedrich.
On July 26, there will be a dinner and screening at the Bryn Mawr historic theatre in Philadelphia. Special guests include Engine 2 Diet author Rip Esselstyn and Wellness Forum founder Dr. Pam Popper, both of whom appear in Forks Over Knives.

Again, thank you for your support.
