We’re used to our Disruptive Women bloggers being on the cutting edge in their fields and doing amazing things every day. We’re used to them saving lives, fighting for those without a voice and revolutionizing the world around us. Still, it’s not every day that a major motion picture being featured at the world-famous Sundance Film Festival is directly connected to their work. Not that we’re bragging, but we feel pretty fortunate to call Dr. Concetta Tomaino, D.A., MT-BC, LCAT, one of our own these days. Besides having her work featured in The Music Never Stopped (and having Julia Ormond, the actress playing the music therapist in the m...

Its partner and producer is the Creative Coalition, a non-profit political and social advocacy group with backing from such stars as Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon, The New York Times reports, adding an ‘Academy-award winning’ director will be named this month at the Sundance Film Festival. “This won’t be a marketing tool at all,” Robin Bronk, Creative Coalition’s executive director, tells the paper. This is “a natural progression of our mission to develop educational projects.” Glaxo marketing exec Rachel Ferdinando says a signed agreement gives full creative control to the director and Creative Coalition, and there are no expectations Alli will be mentio...

University of California, Davis scientists said that the study was the “most rigorous examination to date of blood-mercury levels in children with autism,” and cautioned that the study did not disprove or prove whether mercury plays a role in causing the disorder. The study looked at the mercury levels in 452 participants – 249 with autism, 143 without it and 60 who had other developmental delays – and found levels “essentially the same” in all the children.

A friend of mine wanted to see the movie, The Children, so much he ordered if off of the Amazon UK site. I fought temptation to ask him if I could borrow it. What stopped me was the sudden memory was of the last time years ago of borrowing Man Bites Dog – the uncensored version on VHS, and never getting back to him. Given that not so great precedent, I decided to keep my mouth shut. When the line up for the festival came out, I was delighted to see that they had brought in The Children for a screening. The director was not able to be there, however, he did send a message to be read via email. This movie is made for all of you hav... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2716175 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:56:29 +0100 2716175 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1396271&cid=t_135858_134_f&fid=35152&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsstrumello.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F04%2Fpreviewing-life-for-child-film-at.html This evening, I've been invited (along with Allison and Kerri, although I believe some others were invited but were unable to attend) to attend the "Life for a Child" documentary film being screened at the Tribeca Film Festival.
