Poster Girl Oscar Nominee!

published by Jose Vasquez on 01/26/11 1:13am

IVAW extends a hearty congratulations to filmmaker Sara Nesson and IVAW board member Robynn Murray for receiving an nomination for the 83rd Annual Oscar Awards. Poster Girl is one of eight in the best documentary short category.

Poster Girl "is an emotionally raw documentary that follows Robynn over the course of two years as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption, using art and poetry to redefine her life."

We encourage eveyone to show their support by visiting the Oscar website and telling the nominations committee you "Like" the film using your Facebook log in.

You can also attend the NYC premiere at IFC Center on Tuesday, Feb 1 at 8:00pm. The screening will be followed by a talk back with Sara and Robynn. You can purchase tickets here. This is a limited engagement so get your tickets today!
