Dynamic Duo Productions' documentary deals with hot button relationship issues of our time.
Los Angeles, CA, October 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- “Hedy and Yumi: Crossing the Bridge,” a film by Robyn Symon starring renowned relationship experts Hedy and Yumi Schliefer, will screen as part of the LA Femme Film Festival in Hollywood, October 15-18, 2009.
The film spotlights the story of the Schliefers, recognized amongst their peers as one of the world’s most dynamic and inspiring relationship building teams. It will screen at the Davidson/Valenti Theater, 1125 N. McCadden Place in Hollywood on Thursday, October 15 at 12 pm.
Fueled by their own emotional scars of the Holocaust and power struggles during four decades of marriage, Hedy and Yumi travel the globe promoting the “power of connection” and teaching couples how to “cross the bridge” to one another and deepen their relationships through their unique “Adventure in Intimacy” workshop. The film captures the emotional drama as couples explore their inner childhood experiences that have now become the trigger for conflict with their loved ones.
“With couples around the world, we create these little laboratories,” says Hedy. “And when there are enough of these little laboratories, there will be a tipping point about the power of connection.”
Filmmaker Robyn Symon is a two time Emmy award-winning writer/producer specializing in documentaries and TV series. A former TV news reporter, Symon wrote and produced the national PBS documentary series “ Voices of Vision,” hosted by NPR’s Scott Simon. Symon has been honored with numerous national awards including two Emmys for writing and producing short documentaries, three National Telly Awards, two NABJ awards, and two Associated Press and UPI honors for news reporting.
The LA Femme International Film Festival is a premier festival that focuses on platforming women filmmakers “for women, by everyone.” Now in it's fifth year, the festival was the brainchild of Leslie LaPage who conceived it as a way to support and nurture the artistic entertainment productions of women for the benefit of distribution to an international and domestic audience.
