Voters, this is your day.

This election season has certainly been long, bruising and loud. Record amounts of money have been spent both locally and nationally by candidates chasing your vote. Television and radio ads have blanketed the airwaves, and campaign literature has filled mailboxes everywhere. If your landline phone rang in the last month, it was probably a recorded voice asking for your vote.

Tomorrow, all that stops, because today you do the only thing that matters in this election season: You vote.

Your vote will carry a tremendous amount of weight today.  This will be a historic election for many reasons. Make sure to be a part of it.

“An Affair of the Heart”, the award-winning documentary about fandom with a focus on Rick Springfield and his fan community, had its theatrical opening at the IFC Center in New York City on October 10, 2012. The run lasted 9 days and we were able to garner an unbelievable amount of press for the film (especially considering it was only showing in NYC at the time).
