Last year, while simultaneously working with Standing There Productions, Rita Walsh produced the AFC-funded short film, Hugo, which was written by Rachel Bowen and directed by Nicholas Verso. Hugo been selected to premiere at the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Film  and the Rhode Island International Film Festival in the USA , and Rachel Bowen (who played Graphics Girl in our short Film, I Could Be Anybody) has been nominated for an AWGIE (Australian Writers' Guild Industry Award) for her script. Further information about Hugo is available at the website www.hugothefilm.com. Congratulations to everyone involved in Hugo.

Rita Walsh will be representing Hugo at both of these festivals and will also be visiting NYC and LA in August in order to continue to market Hugo and a couple of other projects.
