haveababy premiered at Tribeca Film Festival
Hi Everyone,
What an incredible experience last night at the premiere of haveababy. From the pre-party, to the red carpet, to the talk back afterwards, it will be a night I will always remember. I feel so lucky to be able to get to share my journey through infertility in this film. I just know haveababy is going to help break the shame and silence around this issue. And I was really excited to see all the press we got even before we opened (Village Voice Best of the Fest, Upworthy and much more). Lots of journalists were there so I'm sure the media train will keep running. Connect with the haveababy Facebook page or Twitter to see all press. And I was thrilled to learn The William Morris Agency is repping us!
I will be at the Saturday 3pm screening for the talk back. Other screenings are Monday 430pm and Tuesday 945pm. Please come and spread the word. Click here for the schedule and to buy tix.
This morning as I write this with my sleeping baby on me, I feel immense gratitude and peace knowing that I have my baby. To those struggling.... Don't quit! Be flexible with your options and just go get your baby.
Love,
Athena
