Dear Joelle-Lyn,

Aloha, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Anderson Le and I am the program director of the Louis Vuitton Hawaii International Film Festival, scheduled for October 18 - 28, 2007. It gives me great pleasure to accept your film entry, HOME AGAIN, to be included in this year's film festival.

This year's festival takes place from October 18 - 28 in Honolulu, Hawaii. I look forward to working with you in a mutually agreeable arrangement that will benefit both of us and secure a prime screening for the film at the LVHIFF. To screen at this festival, we require a U.S. or Hawaii premiere and that the film has not been screened in the State of Hawaii before the festival (includes any national television broadcast).

Please download and fill out our HIFF FILM DATA SHEET completely and fax it back to us at your earliest convenience:

We require that you send us a final version on DVD as part of our screener library, as well as press and publicity materials that we will request in a separate e-mail.

Filled with insight and discovery, the LVHIFF is dedicated to advancing understanding and cultural exchange among the peoples of Asia, the Pacific and North America. Each year, more than 70,000 attendees throughout Hawaii viscerally experience the sounds and images of filmmaking from around the world. This cultural exchange of ideas, presented through the powerful medium of film, raises the awareness of our similarities and differences alike. In 2006, the festival was covered in a special LVHIFF issue of Variety, as well as The Hollywood Reporter, Screen International, The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Sun Times, Le Monde, The Japan Times, Aintitcoolnews, Twitch Film, Dark Horizons, Cinematical, and Greencine and so forth.

In the meantime, congratulations in your inclusion to this year's LVHIFF. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at your convenience. We look forward to presenting your film to our local, national and international guests and attendees.
Cheers,
Anderson Le
Program Director
