NEW world's fair film "FACE OF A NATION: What Happened to the World's Fair?"

[empresschow]

HI Everyone,

I recently joined this community because I hope you will support "FACE of a Nation" when we finish it this year.

I am a licensed architect and professor who has been researching the story of America's presence at world's fairs.

"FACE OF A NATION: What Happened to the World's Fair?" shows the erosion of the American image internationally when America abandons the World's Fair.  

The film covers the de-funding and elimination of the federal agency in charge of the representation of the American people.

Emmy-award winning composer Nathan Pangrazio-- composed an original orchestral score to capture the love of our country.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me @: empresschow1@yahoo.com

I hope you will tell everyone about this film.

THANK YOU!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I am speaking (and previewing parts of the film) at AIA Pasadena Foothill Chapter on March 20, 2013 from 6:00-8:00pm.

They are charging for the event because I will be lecturing on leadership and fundraising as well.

(Our film is not getting anything for this talk.)

But if you in Southern California, and interested in finding out more about "FACE OF A NATION" please come.

On behalf of my nonprofit, World's Fair Historical Society, www.crystalpalace51.org, and myself, I am glad to see this issue of the United States and how it deals with world's fairs coming out.

Thanks. I have a LAPD meeting I chair that night and don't think I can make it. Drat. I really would have liked to have seen it. If you hear of any other dates please let me know.

How's the leg doing???

Having seen this film at a screening late last year, I can tell you without hesitation that it's not to be missed. FACE OF A NATION: What Happened To The World's Fair? is not only an extremely thought provoking, and deeply personal examination of America's past and present relationship with Expos-- but also with the rest of the globe.

Highly recommend.
