Finally Finished
After spending months in the editing room, hardly catching any daylight, the screening of The Blue Bus was a relieve. For the first time cast and crew could see the final result of the project they'd been working on for such a long time. Also, family and friends saw what was the cause of the fact that the same cast and crew hardly had time to return their calls.
After the screening of the film the reactions were positive and the only tears that were shed were those of happiness and relief.
We would like to thank everybody for their presence and warm responses.
