I had a lovely time showing the film at Flat Screens, hosted by the wonderful Andrea Zimmerman. It was lovely to see Gillian McIver, Gareth Evans and all the people who made me feel very welcome. Please have a look at Andrea’s website for news on her work and also Gillian’s site for news about Studio 75

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see the film at its various recent screenings. A big thank you to both the Hackney Picturehouse and Rio cinema for hosting screenings back in our borough. Thanks too to Picturehouses who also screened it in Greenwich, the ica and to Cineworld who screening the film in Bristol, Cardiff, Wolverhampton, Ilford and Wood Green. Thank you very much too to Susan , Michael and all at the QFT Queens Film Theatre in Belfast for their fantastic hospitality and a great reception for the film back in Dan’s childhood home and the place where both his father and Grandmother Maroussia who sparked this film and vodka adventure are buried.

We’re a bit late updating our pages after a whirlwind of screenings so this is a rather belated but massive THANK YOU to Robin and all at the Prince Charles Cinema for what was a fantastic UK Cinema premiere of ‘How To Re-Establish A Vodka Empire’. We arrived in some style and had a great night in a packed out cinema. Photos available to view here. Thanks too to Alex Rowley and Matt and all at Dartmouth films for working hard to draw the crowd, also a big thank you to Vinca and all at Future Youth and to the UK Jewish Film Festival. What a great night!

A big thank you to Dilwyn and all at Theatre Mwldan, Cardigan for a fantastic Welsh premiere of ‘How To Re-Establish A Vodka Empire.’ Also a big thanks to Hilary’s Dad Mum and sister and Dan’s Aunt and Uncle for proving personal connections and word of mouth is always the most effective way of drawing a crowd.
