The 5th Annual BlackPix Film
Festival that was to be held in Columbia, SC has been canceled for
the weekend of February 9-10, 2013. Take A Leap Italy
(documentary); Choices and The Right Path (youth
short films) were to be featured films. There was a conflict with
the facility. No further information is known at this time as to if
it will be rescheduled.
Our fight to Los
Angeles have been booked utilizing frequent flier miles for minimal
costs out of pocket. Rhonda is scheduled to get to LA on Wednesday,
February 20; and Sharee will be coming in a day earlier than planned,
and is set to arrive in LA on the evening of Thursday, February 21.
They plan to have rehearsal on the Red Carpet on Friday.
They have selected
the dresses they will wear at any Pre-Oscar parties they maybe in
attendance at. Videos and pictures will be posted on their Take A
Leap Blog, Twitter, and Facebook pages on the day of the event. They
are currently soliciting votes for their Red Carpet attire, and will
be making a decision by the end of the week. This is sooner than
originally planned because of alternations needed.
A final update is
that the Paul Mitchell School of Columbia will be providing us
manicures and pedicures; and Marcie Mallory, an independent
distributor with Premiere Designs, will be providing high fashion
jewelry to polish our look on the Red Carpet.
