Sadly, I couldn’t make it to the Kansas City Film Festival last week but Becky (who now lives in the area) did a fantastic Q&A at our sold-out screening. And I hear the audience was brimming with SeaSprites!
I just found out that we won the jury award for BEST U.S./INTERNATIONAL FEATURE!!! We even beat out all of the fiction movies and Bill Plympton!!! I’m so excited!!!
Kansas City Film Fest screening is sold out! And the lobby is a zoo!

9 months agoNice interview in Cincinnati Weekly with 2004 U.S. Olympic Synchronized Swimmer Becky Jasontek. There are lots of great answers to questions, Olympic and otherwise, but this one’s my favorite:
WHAT MOVIE DO YOU WATCH AND REWATCH?
Probably the film by the documentary crew that followed my crew around the Olympics. I just got a copy of it. I’ve been to two different premieres. It’s a documentary called Sync or Swim.
Thanks, Becky! We’re flattered.

1 year agoI’m totally exhausted from being in “festival mode” for a week and still have a lot of follow-up to do, but I just wanted to say a great big thank you to everyone who came out to see the movie at SILVERDOCS. We had two totally amazing screenings and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks to Sky Sitney and the other programmers for inviting us. We had a GREAT time with Becky and the local teams. Below are some of my favorite photos from the festival - the rest of our SILVERDOCS pictures can be seen here. Thanks again! Go Team!

Q&A during first screening. 
Becky and I agree, Sync or Swim deserves a 5 out of 5! It was great!

That’s me in front of the ticket holders line for screening #2 (you can’t tell from this picture, but the line snaked all across the lobby).
Our second screening was in the georgeous Silver Theater.
