Was so fun to talk with ODETTE ALDRICH, who made an absolutely INCREDIBLE movie that is hopefully playing near you ASAP. Really excited for people to see this one, I loved it! It is playing at LES CAVES ST SABIN in Paris, France on October 16th at 2300 local time, I am so jealous I don't get to go to a medieval night club and see this. One day though!! Follow the movie and stuff here:
