Grateful and excited that Mirrors has been selected by the Shockfest Film Festival 2021 for a Silver Bullet Virtual Screening on Dec 10! More details to come! And thankful that Jonathan Fitzgerald's many talents get to shine in new forums.

21/07/2021

We are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague Jonathan Fitzgerald, who was a bright light in this world with his incredible warmth, generosity, and many talents. There will be a candlelight vigil for him this Friday evening, July 23, at 8:30 pm. The address is his home 5207 N. Broad St. in Philadelphia. The family asks that everyone please bring black balloons to release. Our prayers are with his family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.
