Lauren's film CIGARETTE CANDY just won Best Student Short at the 34th Cleveland International Film Festival!
Annabelle, who said "this was one of the most amazing moments in my life," was accompanied by her best pal Lindsay Cockburn.
Stay tuned for details coming soon on our 2010 auction, which will once again feature one-of-a-kind celebrity lunches, show tickets, movie/tv walk-ons, autographed items and more.
The film follows the Sierra Leone trial of civil war rebel leader Issa Sesay, who prosecutors call a war criminal, guilty of crimes against humanity. His defenders insist that he is a reluctant fighter who protected civilians and played a crucial role in forging the peace. WAR DON DON tells the story of this sensational trial with unprecedented access to prosecutors, defense attorneys, victims and, from behind bars, Sesay himself.
