View this email in your browser Dearest Friends and Backers, It's been awhile, hope all is well! I've been busy behind the scenes working tirelessly to finish BEING BEBE and today I'm writing to share several exciting developments. Introducing Editor James Codoyannis! We are thrilled to welcome editor James Codoyannis to the team! James and I initially met serendipitously through a mutual friend at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of MOVING PARTS, the Trixie Mattel documentary that he edited last year. Even though BEING BEBE is so different from MOVING PARTS, our project will benefit tremendously from James’ knowledge and familiarity with the Drag Race scene. A little bit about James ... he studied film at NYU and was later mentored by veteran editor, Sam Pollard. You might know James' work from the feature documentaries F(L)AG FOOTBALL, BIBLE QUIZ, and IN A PERFECT WORLD. The projects he works on are full of heart, irreverence, rhythm, and humor. Together we’ve been working on the rough cut since the beginning of October, and I can’t wait to share some bits of progress with you all soon. Presale to OUTtv! We’re delighted to announce that we have pre-sold various rights to the film to OUTtv in the following territories: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. We’re very excited about this big win because it guarantees that in those territories, BEING BEBE will be accessible to fans through the same platforms that distribute RuPaul’s Drag Race. We're working on opportunities for the UK, US, and other European and international territories and will share developments as they unfold. And if you're a film festival buff, you might be wondering if we're planning to take BEING BEBE out to festivals and the answer is YES! Save The Date - December 3rd is #GivingTuesday
