For putting us better in touch with our audience and your wants and desires...the keenly analytical survey skills of Joshua Hightower.
For documenting our various hijinks and making sure we appear in the best light possible..Stacie Joy with her amazing still photography and the industrious Bill C. and Ivy Liegh, ramping up our video unit.
Many thanks also to John Mhiripiri and all of the staff at Anthology Film Archives…eleven years and counting!

Thanks to Gallery Bar for hosting our festive awards ceremony. And for the AfterGlow, extra thanks to the folks at Brooklyn Party Space for being such fabulous hosts, to Club Amante/Adult Socials for making the introduction… and to those adventurous sorts who ventured out on such a blustery night to partake :)
