Here is an interesting story on the slew of films coming to market about Nanking, China. Our film goes into theaters in NYC on December 12th and our success helped to spur interest in this long forgotten subject matter.

Toughness

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I saw the play where Boyd Gordon was injured in the game against Florida. I watched him as he rejoined his teammates on the bench and spied as he shook off his hand in pain and then tucked it under his arm to gain comfort. As he took his regular shift three minutes later and played the rest of the game, even scoring a goal in the shootout, I thought he had a stinger and had recovered. Can you imagine playing a hockey game; holding your stick; and taking regular shifts with a fractured hand? The kid is a hockey player: tough and focused.

We have a great facility. We will do our best to work with building management to make it right.
