Just a quick update on The Glass House Dallas premier that happened this past weekend. First, WOW! It was a great time, great movies and lots of fun. Thanks to Bart and his staff for giving us a wonderful weekend of movies! Oh, and photos will be posted later this week, so be sure and check back.
The film (The Glass House) premiered on Sunday at 2:15. My mom, Marie Hibbard, and sister Leisa Speegle drove in from Oklahoma City to be there and my cousins, Sherrie Williams, Janice Wilbanks and Laura Terrell came in from several areas of the Metroplex to support Melissa and Hamid’s film. My daughter Sarah Sellers and her hubby Matt were also there to see the film for the first time. Obviously, we are proud of our family of filmakers!
I had tons of positive comments and some good questions from the audience about the documentary process. The film and the stories of the girls had a very positive impact on all that saw it.
A special shout out to my friends and business associates who attended – Steve and Tony from Gold’s Gym and my dear friend Kadena Tate Simon and old pal Randy Jeter – thanks for “answering the call” and coming out for the day to support the film! Love love to all!
The evening ended around ten after the Texas round of movies (so entertaining!) and the awards for the movies were announced. I was proud to be able to accept for Melissa and Hamid the award for Best Documentary… I pretended I was at the Academy Awards, well…not really, but it did cross my mind!
Thanks again to everyone for coming out to support The Glass House. Please pass the word that The Glass House will have it’s US Television premier on November 16 at 9:00 on the Sundance Channel. Yea!
Love and Peace,
Sandy
The Glass House finally comes to Dallas. Join me this Sunday at the Angelika Theater in Dallas (Mockingbird Station) at 2:15 for the premier of this moving documentary that breaks cultural and racial barriers.
With a virtually invisible camera, The Glass House takes us on a never-before-seen tour of the underclass of Iran. This groundbreaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to. It introduces us to a group of courageous women working to instill a sense of empowerment and hope into the lives of otherwise discarded teenage girls.
Melissa Hibbard (my niece) and her hubby Hamid Rahmanian, are the film makers of the award winning documentary film The Glass House. Melissa wrote and produced and Hamid directed the movie.

I was in the mood for some creativity this long holiday weekend so in follow up to my Labor Day 10-Photo Challenge using your iPhone or mobile device, here are my results. Tonight’s the deadline, so here we go! Let me know your thoughts…peace and love – Sandy

Taken in garage with iPhone - love the color!
Let’s forget politics, marketing deadlines, business plans and money for a minute and put our creative eyes to work over this long Labor Day weekend! Join me for another 10-photo challenge, originally inspired by Chase Jarvis, photographer extraordinaire!
Here’s how it works: Using your iphone or other mobile phone camera, take 10 photos within 10 meters of you. Look for the detail, the color, texture, whatever inspires you in the common or not-so-common things that surround you – whether you are at home watching football, by the pool, or travelling to an exotic destination! Take a zillion photos then choose the best 10. Then post them to your favorite photo hosting page – photobucket, smugmug, twitpix - or upload to your Facebook account or blog. Be sure to “share” the link to the photos via Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and any other social networking site you are a member of. DEADLINE: have the photos up Monday evening.
Let’s look for the beauty that is around us and share it! Spread the love!
Have fun!

I wanted to share another business building article, this one is compliments of Ali Brown, marketing guru and coach. An unstinting faith in her own ability and destiny has helped Ali Brown become one of the most successful female entrepreneurs of her generation. As founder and CEO of Ali International, LLC, a company which was recently named to the 2009 *Inc 500*, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, she has created a dynamic multimillion dollar enterprise that is devoted to empowering women around the world. Through the power of entrepreneurship Ali helps close to 40,000 members start and grow their own businesses.
I started following Ali Brown back in 2005 and have had the privilege of watching her business grow over this time to one of the fastest growing private companies in the nation! When Ali speaks I listen. I have learned more from her ezines and telecalls than from any other marketing coach. I highly recommend her and encourage you to sign up for her weekly “Spotlight” ezine, the link is at the bottom of the article. Enjoy the article and feel free to leave your comments.
