From:	sterlingridgehs@sbcglobal.net

The Bracelet of Bordeaux will be in theaters starting May, 18th.  Five Texas homeschoolers were involved with the production of this film.  Two are major characters and three were in the crew (including my two sons).  Here is some information on the movie and a link to show times and locations:



Monterey Media is delighted to
announce the acquisition of The Bracelet of Bordeaux a Papillon Production
from Eakin Films. This exciting family film has already received the KIDS
FIRST! Endorsement as well as approval from The Dove Foundation.



The
Bracelet of Bordeaux takes you on a rip-roaring adventure to
Chem City , Texas
where someone is dognapping the canine citizens! Two “tween” girls
overcome danger and conspiracies as they set out to solve the crime and
administer justice with the help of a magical bracelet. As the girls battle the
Mob, a punk gang and a crooked cop, they learn something about friendship,
courage and the importance of hanging with the right crowd. Directed by Casey
Kelly and written by Frank Eakin, the film stars Ally Claire Carson, Kelsey
Edwards, Shane Kelly and Shane Savage.



“Looking for some fun and engaging
entertainment for the whole family? The Bracelet of
Bordeaux is your ticket. This film has all
the elements of a mystery drama, plus chuckles aplenty for both kids and their
parents. Bracelet is likely to become a family favorite for years to come.”
– Voice of America



The
Bracelet of Bordeaux captivates audiences with nonstop
excitement and intrigue as an Official Selection at the American Film Institute
(Dallas), Zlin European Fest for Children, San Diego International
Children’s Film Festival, Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival and Austin
Film Festival. ThePeoplesCritic.com proclaims “The magical adventures of
young Helen, her adorable dog, Rufus, and her best friend Marie, comprise an
amusing and mysterious tale that is promising to captivate both young and old.
Brace yourself for BRACELET fun!!!”
