Secrets of Fenville Premiere a Huge Success
   The premiere of Secrets of Fenville last Thursday evening fared far better than many expected. The 7:00pm screening was completely sold out, and the 9:30pm screening was more than 3/4 full. As well, the representatives from Exclusivemagazine.com received many donations of food, toys, and books for Gleaners Community Food Bank and local Children's Hospitals.
   "We're really so grateful to everyone who came out in support of local Independent film," said one of the film's directors, "and to see so many people bringing in food and toy donations really shows how big of a heart this community has."
   Of course, the story doesn't end here. The filmmakers are planning on holding screenings of the film in Park City, Utah during this January's Sundance Film Festival. As well, there will be future screenings of Secrets of Fenville throughout the state of Michigan as well as other states across the country. And, of course, the Fenville Times will always be here, reporting on the continued evolution of all things happening within our fair city.
