Producers Steven Weisman and Mary Stuart Masterson accept the Jury Award for Best Feature at the Stony Brook FF
Producer Mary Stuart Masterson said, "This project, from development through production, and now through distribution, has been so gratifying. The set was a magical place where everyone felt totally safe to take creative risks with this emotionally raw and delicate material about the toxic nature of silence within a family. It was the ideal first film for Barn Door Pictures for its uniquely strong script combined with its ability to be shot on an ultra low budget without anyone looking over our shoulders."
Barn Door Pictures is self-distributing the TICKLING LEO DVD, complete with extras that highlight the true historical events that inspired the film. DVD will be available at www.ticklingleothemovie.net.
The extra feature entitled 'Debating Kasztner's Legacy' includes an interview with Ladislaus Löb, a passenger on the Kasztner Train, and author of the book DEALING WITH SATAN: REZSO KASZTNER'S DARING RECUE MISSION. Extra will also feature an interview with Holocaust scholar and historian Michael Ezra, author of an upcoming book detailing how the history of the Kasztner Affair has been portrayed.
