May.04.17. Showing and panel at CSN
Yesterday, May 3rd we had the opportunity to show our documentary in the campus theater of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) – Henderson. We came upon the invitation of their Living Sociology Club, which relished the idea of meeting the production team and cast of our homegrown documentary.
After a short meet and greet, everyone settled in to watch our film “Now Place Your Bets” from 6 – 7:45 pm. A panel discussion followed, moderated by CSN professor Fred Conquest. Executive producer Dennis Tobler led the panel in answering student questions about the film and sports betting industry in general. He was joined by cast members Norm Kelley, Steve Prentky, Ed Kokosky and John Wholihan.
Overall, we’re delighted by the positive feedback and look forward to more opportunities to show our documentary in other venues.
