Times Square. What a strangely perfect place for the NYC Premiere of MEDITATE AND DESTROY. At the crossroads of the world, where ubiquitious advertising seeps into our collective consciousness, the seeds of inner peace are rarely found or actively sought. It is a place representative of America's over-consumption and constant need to find fulfillment in external objects.

The Times Square Art Center where the upcoming film screening will be held is a modestly sized 80-seat theater. The rampant advertising and materialism outdoors isn't likely to end anytime soon. But, how wonderful that a few amongst the millions will turn their backs on the bright lights, meet in a dark theater, and dare to go against the stream.

Q&A with Director, Sarah Fisher

Screening will be preceded by Raffi Asdourian's samurai short film, "Ai"

Location: Times Square Arts Center 300 W. 43rd St, Ste 309/310

For more info: Official FHTA-Live website

*it is highly recommended to purchase tickets in advance- the show will SELL OUT
**we also encourage you to check out the other indie films in the FHTA festival- there are some good ones!

Dear Friends,

Thanks to the support from all of you and some really good karma, MEDITATE AND DESTROY made it as a finalist in the Myspace/Cinegogo contest!!! Only 6 films were chosen out of 12- so now there's a distinct chance to see the film on Friday, August 15 @ 8 p.m.!!

Check the website here: http://www.cinegogo.com/fhta/sf-finalists

For those in San Francisco, I request your full presence TONIGHT- August 15th @ MEZZANINE because no matter what happens it's ultimately the intention to try to seek meaningful change that matters. If you've seen the film already, come out to the support the cause of Sacred Cinema and bring a friend who you think would enjoy (and benefit) from seeing it.

It would be a huge joy to screen MEDITATE AND DESTROY tonight- but if for some reason we do not make it to the Top 3, please know it will also be a great joy to personally thank all of you for your eagerness to see the dharma on the big screen where it is sorely lacking.

Love and blessings,

Sarah

Q& A on the Myspace/Cinegogo Contest...


Q: Will I definitely be able to see the film tonight?

A: Six films will be narrowed to THREE at the event tonight. This is a screening event is called "You're the Film Programmer" contest. It based entirely on audience demand. Fans (that's you!) will vote to see the Top 3 films @ the event via text messaging @ the event location only minutes before the films are screened! Without you showing up to request the film, it won't be screened!! This is active cinema- you are a participant. When is the last time you got to control what you saw at a theater??

Don't FORGET your cell phone to send a text message for your vote!! This is the one time you are being asked to turn your cell phone ON in a theater!

Q: What do you mean by audience demand?

A: Most film festivals are programmed by a group of individuals who hypothesize about what they feel audiences want to see. Film Festival committees also have their own biases. Hollywood dominates the multiplexes around the entire country with their notion of good entertainment. With this new model, it is YOUR chance to see a film that is meaningful to YOU. In Buddhist terms-- this is a completely interdependent operation. YOU are not left out of the equation. YOUR voice can heard. Just show up and vote!! What is happening is a something new and different- unlike anything else in the film industry. Be a part of this historical moment- I assure you the landscape for film distribution is changing due to the efforts of the From Here to Awesome Film Festival.

Q: What if I show up @ Mint Plaza and MEDITATE AND DESTROY gets screened @ Mezzanine or visa versa??

A: I'm encouraging ALL fans of M&D to show up to the downstairs level of Mezzanine. Why? Because Mint Plaza is outdoors and I'm a total wimp on these cold San Francisco nights. We need to aggregate all the MEDITATE AND DESTROY fans in ONE location. If everyone is spread out between the two locations, the votes might not be high enough to make M&D one of the Top 3 winning films. So, MEZZANINE is the place to be!

Q: Where do I get my free ticket?

A: Go here to register: www.cinegogo.com/fhta

Q: Last question, I don't like being in the unknown. I just want to SEE the film- I don't want to take a risk at this event tonight.

A: Hmm, that's not really a question. It sounds like you expressing dissatisfaction about being in the unknown. I understand your feelings entirely. The unknown is a strange place to be- but sit with that feeling. I've been sitting in the unknown all week too. Life is always a mystery- it is grasping at a false sense of security that makes us uncomfortable. We always want to believe something is set in stone. It's a challenge to in the unknown, but I'm finding comfort by remembering the advice of my teacher, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, "Just try and don't worry" and "Accept defeat and offer the victory". Difficulties always lie entirely within the mind.
