The Iron Mule - Changing Lives!

A beautiful story about from our friends at the Iron Mule (aka the film series formerly known as First Sundays).

Im really humbled that our short comedy film festival has brought two people together and given them an excuse to dress up in fancy clothes for the New York Times.

You can read the NY Times article about the magical romance of Alan and Ming-Yi, and the power of the Iron Mule to change lives, here.

Of course now we have to destroy a marriage to restore balance to the universe.
