I am here

And very excited. (Partly because of the wonderful California weather, it was cold, raining and snowing in Boston when I left!)

Thank you to Claremont university for organizing and to all those who put in countless hours.

There is a much more laid back culture here than on the east coast - I wonder how, if at all, that has affected people's understanding of Islam or search for knowledge of it. Or their proximity to Hollywood and its big blockbuster films - how will they view an independent documentary differently than other parts of the USA which don't have a film industry?

Updates after the film...
