Reflections: The 'States of Grace' Blog
We are extremely honored that States of Grace was one of six films selected by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation for their 2016-17 touring program. Mark traveled with the film for two and a half weeks in April, screening it at ten venues in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. This blog is also posted on the Foundation website.
