Greetings!
Congratulations to Christopher Bessette
We were very pleased to be a part of the Arpa Int'l Film Festival this past weekend. It is not often that we are able to screen our film at an historic location like the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Blvd, right on the Walk of Fame.
In addition to the enthusiastic audiences, the Festival jurors nominated The Enemy God for three awards: Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Feature Film. At the awards ceremony on Sunday evening, Christopher was recognized as Best Director. It is a fitting tribute to his gifts. The festival committee was amazed by the film. Alex Kalognomos, the Festival Director, had this to say about it:
"This challenges you. This rewards you. This opens your heart. This just penetrates your soul and makes a remote people that you may not think you have a lot in common with -- you realize their identity is as important to them as it is with those of us who are so swept away with our own modern lives."

We appreciate our friends who have been able to come out to screenings like this. Please pass the word about the film to your friends. More and more people are hearing about The Enemy God, but it's a great challenge to make it possible for everyone to experience the Yanomamö's story for themselves.
Yours, Tom Khazoyan Producer, Yai Wanonabälewä: The Enemy God ____________________________________________________________
