We would also like to thank Julia Halperin and Jason Cortlund for hosting a wonderful party at their home in Austin, Texas to celebrate US in Progress filmmakers (Wild Canaries' Lawrence Levine and Sophia Takal and Mike Tully of Ping Pong Summer) and promote the program at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year. Austin Film Society co-organized.
US in Progress Wroclaw 2013 sends a producer to Producers' Network in Cannes to help US and European filmmakers network. In May 2014 Steve Holmgren (close collaborator of Matt Porterfield, producer of I Used to Be Darker among others) will attend.
We would also like to congratulate US in Progress alumn Onur Tukel for his premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival with a vampire-comedy Summer of Blood.
