We are very pleased to announce that "Truth Has Fallen" will be featured in an upcoming Los Angeles screening! The film will be competing in the Awareness Film Festival on Sunday September 20th at 4pm at the LA Live Regal Cinema (1000 W. Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015) If you have not yet seen the film I hope you can come! You can use this link to purchase discounted online tickets for $14. Please help spread the word.
"Truth Has Fallen" was also invited to participate in the CINANIMA 2015 (Portugal) "Fractures" program (animated films that display the flaws and imperfections of present society) as well as the FANTOCHE Animation Festival in Switzerland. The film was recently screened in the Landlocked Film Festival and will be screening in the Commffest 2015 Festival in Toronto, and the SaMo Indie 2015.
Sadly, two prominent figures in "Truth Has Fallen" have passed away in recent months, Joyce Ann Brown and Vincent Bugliosi. They both generously contributed to the making of "Truth Has Fallen." Joyce Ann Brown shared her personal story of wrongful conviction and her efforts to help others who have been wrongfully convicted. Vincent Bugliosi shed light on the legal issues presented in the film. Their contributions to the film were enormous.
In good news, we have recently signed with Film Marketing Services who will represent the film and pursue domestic and international distribution.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope to see you at the Awareness Film Festival on September 20th!

I have just returned from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where "Truth Has Fallen" screened at the Marda Loop Justice Film Festival Series. I shared the stage with exoneree David Milgaard (a well-known figure in Canada) who personified the subject and also brought perspective to the issue of wrongful conviction being an international one and not restricted to the United States. 130 people were in attendance, and almost all of them stayed for a stimulating Q & A. I received very good feedback on the film.

We have completed all production on “Truth Has Fallen!” On Monday July 1st we had a private screening at the Laemmle Pasadena for cast, crew, family, and friends. We will post updates on any festival and distribution news.
Good news! The animation for “Truth Has Fallen” is completely done! We have brought on Sandy Gendler as the sound designer. He is bringing vast experience and wonderful ideas to the project. The remaining stages of post production are color timing and sound mixing. USC will allow me to use their mixing stages, but I will not be able to reserve a date until after graduation (mid-May.) I am very excited that we have finally reached the end of this project after ten years of production! I look forward to announcing the premiere in the near future.
Thank you for your patience and support!

“Truth Has Fallen” is nearing the end of production. Yu Gu, our very talented editor, added approximately four minutes of dialogue to the soundtrack which helped explain the specifics of the legal cases discussed in the film. This addition improved the narrative of the film but also necessitated the production of additional animation. Fortunately I am on sabbatical from USC this semester, so I have been able to dedicate all of my time to the animation. I have so far completed about half of the animation and have about two more minutes to go (approximately 2800 frames.) I am hoping to complete all animation in the next couple of months.
Barbara Cohen has completed the music score.
Hopefully everyone has received their IndieGoGo perks (with the exception of the final DVD of “Truth Has Fallen.”) If you have not received your perk, please let us know.
Thank you for your continued support!

The IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign was a success! We raised $13,021 on IndieGoGo and an additional $5,350 in outside check and cash contributions. That brings the total to $18, 371! This money will cover all of our post-production expenses.
The editor, Yu Gu, has been working hard on the film. She is doing a brilliant job! The composer, Barbara Cohen, and the sound designer, Mark Witte, are eager to start working. We are hopeful the film will be completed by December- February at the latest.
Thank you for making this campaign a success! Dave and I are grateful
for the enormous support we received from friends, family, colleagues, former
students, and even strangers! It has brought a renewed excitement to
the production. We will keep you informed of our progress and let you
know when and where the premiere will take place. We hope to see you
there!
