"I thank the organizers of the "Italy International Film Festival" for selecting our film via  FilmFreeway," said Jackie Wright, filmmaker, publicist for The San Francisco Black Film Festival and Oakland International Film Festival and cultural exchange ambassador with NOSACONN and the Durban International Film Festival.  "It is the amazing grace of God that "Love Separated in Life…Love United in Honor" was officially selected in the month that would have been our  parents 71^st wedding anniversary!"
