Thank You Essex Community College

The production and promotion team of The Yellow Room warmly thanks the students and staff at Essex Community College for an awesome screening of The Yellow Room, today.  It was a great experience.  This was the first college campus that hosted a screening of the film and it was such a success! The students enriched the discussion session of the event with their thoughtful questions and active participation.  We all look forward to working with ECC again next semester with a screening of Assal's next film, A Day in Eden.
