Wrath of Gods is heading to Portugal!


Well more festivals want to show Wrath of Gods. Am I surprised, of course not!

I have known all along that Jon's film was some kind of special. Wow, next stop for

Wrath is Santarem in Portugal at MOFF. Nothing like being a global success.


Wrath of Gods stands as being my most favorite documentary to date.


Oh yeah.. its available on Amazon.com now...

Down Under/ New York/ California Too!!!!




Wrath of Gods showed a the Perth Film Festival. I have a friend that lives in Perth and I can tell you she was completely estatic about having the opportunity to see Wrath of Gods on the big screen. Every day that went by leading to the showing she was so excited. She had hoped that Jon Gustasson would be attending the festival hoping to get to meet him and ask some questions. He didn't make it but she none the less attended and reported that the fellow at the ticket window said that of all the movies he had seen at the festival that Wrath was by far the very best. This tickled her to know end and when she reported to Jon not only how much she loved his Wrath but what the fellow had said... he was really quite happy and pleased. I think he said something like it put a huge smile on his face.. LOL




The next stop for Wrath of Gods was Long Island. Stony Brook Film Festival. On the 25th of July Jon went to New York and attended the screening. His wrath showed to a room of close to 1000 viewers. He had a great question and answer session and as always everyone loved the documentary. A couple of days later at the closing nigt ceremony Wrath of Gods earned Jon the horored Jury Award- For filmmaking!!!! Pretty impressive right? Attending the festival with Jon was Karolina Lewicka .




On August 5th Wrath of Gods showed once again at the Napa Sonoma Film Festival. Jon in attendance once more. Well to say he is on a roll would be appropriate right now.. yes... once again his documentary has won an award. The " best documentary feature --shot with digital"


YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just keeps getting better and better!!!!!!!


To date wrath has brought home the Audience Award from OIFF ; the Remie from World Fest; The Jury from Stony Brook; and the Best Documentary Feature from Sonoma!!!!!




CONGRATULATIONS Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have to say that I couldn't be happier for Jon. These honors are so deserved and I am


so pleased that he is getting recognition for his documentary. I know how hard he has worked on this film, and how much dirt the seed of this film had to dig through to sprout and bloom..


And did it ever bloom.


I have to really believe in something to give my heart and passion to it.


Well it is pretty obvious to me that I chose pretty well with this one....




Take a bow Jon Gustafsson . It is your time to shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
