Drinks, Dessert, Directors!

UPDATE: The 2012 Directors’ Reception will take place on Friday, August 10th, the night before this year’s festival. To attend, become a Cosmic Supporter or become a Sponsor. We hope to see you there!

~~~

On Saturday, August 20, AFF producers Larry Kaufman and Margaret Morgan hosted a wine and cheesecake reception for the directors of our feature films, Matthew Chapman (The Ledge), Roger Nygard (The Nature of Existence), and Ondi Timoner (Join Us), and special guest historian Dr. Richard Carrier. The event was also a fundraiser for the festival–thank you to all of the guests who contributed to making next year’s festival as big a success and this one was!

We enjoyed wine provided by Vin Debut and chocolate chili cheesecake bites crafted by San Francisco Atheists’ own Victor Harris Jr., owner of Reuschelle’s Cheesecakes.
