I had a nice chat with director Julia Haslett about this film last year, and also listed it in the Jaunuary CT issue as an indie film to keep eyes out for. I know from Julia that they are screening in New York and there was a kickstarter campaign designed to get more funds for distribution (and to clear rights for some of the music).
