Sally Westbury, This is from the national co-ordinator of 'Wild spaces' film festival.
I didn't think about asking for it as a side show but even David Rose told me he couldn/t add to the program. In Fremantle, Phoebe Coyne is the contact. 0408098857 [EMAIL PROTECTED] love Liz Mc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sal of Wild Spaces" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "elizabeth mcalpine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 6:11 PM Subject: Re: your film > Hi Elizabeth, my name is Sal, which is not short for Sally. > > Please know, again, that adding five minutes to the festival is not possible. It is not my reponsibility to disseminate any issue, no matter how important it is.
