NEW RELEASE "IN THE MORNING" PREMIERES IN SHORTS PROGRAM
WMM's latest acquisition, IN THE MORNING, by Danielle Lurie
enjoys its World Premiere in the Sundance Shorts Program, which has launched the careers of some of the
most prominent names in independent film. In Lurie's daring short drama, a young
Turkish woman is brutally attacked, and the responsibility of restoring her
family's lost honor is left in the hands of her younger brother: a
thirteen-year-old boy. The story is based on a true story of honor killings
around the world. Lurie's film was also fiscally sponsored by WMM.

"THE GARCIA GIRLS" BY FORMER WMM INTERN IN COMPETITION
WMM congratulates former intern Georgina Garcia Riedel, whose film HOW THE
GARCIA GIRLS SPENT THEIR SUMMER will premiere in the Independent Feature
Film Competition. In her tenderly comic, richly textured feature debut, Georgina Garcia Riedel lovingly explores the terrain of longing, loneliness, and self-realization among three generations of single women in a Mexican-American family as they grapple with romantic drought.
