All around, as far as you can see is flat - green fields and trees dot the distant horizon in all directions. The humidity hugs us all inescapably in its uncomfortable, hot, sticky, unwelcome embrace, like that one aunt at Thanksgiving. Kyle Bryant champions the theater screen as somewhere nearby an alligator sniffs the air and dives back into the brown waters of a bayou. The Ataxian has indeed been screened for the first time in Louisiana.
There were two showings in the state of Mardi Gras parades and boiled crawfish.
Rachel Walker describes the screening in North Louisiana:
The Ataxian opened to a full house at Ruston's Celebrity Theater on Saturday, October 19. We were fortunate to raise over $4,500 and increase awareness with a large audience.
Our efforts to publicize the documentary were given a huge boost by Mayor Ronny Walker (no relation to the Walker family!). Upon learning about FA and the film, Mayor Walker invited us to participate in his weekly radio program. Rick Godley, on-air personality of The Peach 99.3, became another instant member of the FAmily, as he made 2 additional radio broadcasts available to our family. Kyle Bryant also participated in a broadcast on the morning of the screening.
