On the second Tuesday of every year, IMAGINE brings together members of the industry for a New Year’s Celebration for the purposes of catching up with each other in person and networking. This year a new component was added whereby IMAGINE honored one of its cover subjects by presenting Gabrielle Savage Dockterman a framed image of her cover. IMAGINE introduced her to the audience commending her for her work well done, co-writing, directing and producing the film MISSING IN AMERICA STARRING Danny Glover. We will continue this practice.

HotShots 2005 was held in downtown Boston at the accommodating International Restaurant and Pub on High Street. We wish to thank their Manager Donnie Ritchie for his extraordinary support for this event. The ambience was friendly, convivial and filled with excitement from all the participants: old friends, new ones, and special visitors from all over New England. Over 200 attended, twice what was expected. And, oh yes, the food was great, too.

If you missed it, here is pictorial review. Put the second Tuesday of every year on your calendar and save the date!  This event is not to be missed and gets bigger and better every year. PUB
