 Last night I was happy to see Saoirse Ronan's new film The Outrun at The Grove in Los Angeles, followed by a Q and A session with the star and producer herself. She proved to be a wonderfully talented star, as impressive in person as she is onscreen. She is poised and caring and is rightfully proud of her new film. The Outrun is a deeply affecting story of alcoholism and sobriety, and it hits hard, but is beautifully crafted. It's Ms. Ronan's first time as a producer, and she mentioned that she and her partner/husband Jack Lowden want to bring more films and series to the screen about Irish and Scottish stories to highlight their beloved countries. The Outrun opens in theaters tomorrow, Oct. 4, 2024.
 Delighted to say today I received a pass to the first American Film Convention in Los Angeles from Oct. 15 to 17, 2024. This is a new convention for filmmakers and those that love and support them that is an excellent networking, learning and business opportunity for folks. Tickets are still available, check their website americanfilmconvention.com for more details. Thanks to my friend and colleague Henry K. Priest for this opportunity, and for all he does for the industry community. He will also be a guest on my podcast, A Word with Joy, coming up early next month!
