While Burning Ember is working its way through festivals in North America as well as being broadcast worldwide this spring in Europe, Eastern Europe, Australia and South East Asia (details are coming) a festival in Florida has taken notice of another of Refuge 31’s films. Not only was Burning Ember selected to screen by the Florida Movie Festival but so was Refuge 31’s first documentary Facing Hunger.
Facing Hunger was shot in 2013 in both Saskatchewan, Canada and Tanzania in Africa and profiles two farm families on opposite sides of the earth combatting world hunger. The 28 minute film has aired on PBS Prairies and Salt+Light Television in Canada.
The Florida Movie Festival 2015 will be held May 1-3 in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Stay tuned for more festivals, broadcaster and film announcements!
