The Genius of Marian Sold Out Our First TUGG Screening

We are so grateful for all of the support The Genius of Marian has received and we are honored to be part of such a loving community. Back in February, our first TUGG screening of The Genius of Marian completely sold out! Monaliza Morete hosted this fantastic event on February 10, 2014 at the Laemmle Monicas in Santa Monica and it was a night to remember.

Part of the joy of that night stems from how meaningful The Genius of Marian is to Monaliza. After her mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 57, Monaliza reached out to us about hosting TUGG screening. The screening became a symbolic starting point to Monaliza’s own journey: after the event, she returned home to Rio to become her mother’s caregiver.

Monaliza did more than host the screening: she also arranged for representatives of the Southland Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association to participate in a Q&A after the film. It’s people like Monaliza who help to make this project what it is – a gathering place and a discussion forum for people who care about the care and treatment of those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. Thanks to Monaliza’s help and heart, we have received amazing feedback from the event from all who attended. It is our hope that the TUGG screening will serve as a model for many future events to come. And her help came at an excellent time; this was our first screening with our theatrical distributor TUGG, and thanks to Monaliza, the event was a huge success selling out and filling a 220 seat theater.
