Hi Simone, Edward, All [Happy NYs to you fabbo NBers too].
That's excellent Simone, very keen to show "A Place Called Ormalcy" as part
of SiSM at both festivals - let's move chatting about the logistics to
backchannel [by the way recieved some very good news about the project
yesterday - it's been shortlisted <https://t.co/FXBGKXr33C> in the 2018 New
Media Prize! Exciting stuff].
Warmly,
Mez
