"I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of those who thoroughly enjoyed Cinemonde and to say thank you for hosting the event. The movies were fantastic! And the Q&A was exciting and stimulating. It was insightful to hear from the producer; from the director; from the stars... I look forward to seeing you at a future Soiree."

"Thanks for such a great night! We completely enjoyed ourselves, loved the short, and really rocked to the feature, and got a big kick out of the Q&A. Of course this a.m., we thought of more questions... Always, right? You have created a terrific program and we look forward to coming down for more of your great Cinemonde Soirees!"

"The Cinemonde Soiree I attended was packed to the brim with cinema lovers who embraced the venue and will undoubtedly spread the word virally about the brand, the quality of the entertainment, the venue, and the sponsors who brought it to life. There were world-class thought leaders, photographers, musicians, film & music producers, designers, artists, writers, actors, directors and film reviewers in the audience. It was a spectacular event..."
Neal Marshad, CEO & President, Marshad Enterprises, Inc.
"The night was a lot of fun! It was a cool crowd. The films were both great, and the drinks and food plentiful and tasty. I love my vodka so it was a nice treat to see Chopin. The short was really great and the feature was awesome! Bravo!"

"I just wanted to thank you for the invitation to Cinemonde. We had a very nice evening, very nice atmosphere, and we loved the movie!"
Vanessa Deflache, French Translator
"The soirée began with a gourmet cocktail party featuring ultra elegant hors d’oeuvres served in abundance including Smoked Salmon with lemon crème fraiche whipped into an airy mousse topped with crispy capers and served on puff pastries; these delicate indulgences resonated through the palette, and like a fine wine, enveloped the senses. Needless to say they were delicious!"
Janet Walker, Freelance Journalist
"Thank you for a wonderful evening! It really was special. It was wonderful meeting so many interesting people and, of course, the highlight of the evening was the film. We all loved the film and wish the very best for its distribution. Thank you again!"
