Jess Search hosted the annual "Red Light Dinner" in Amsterdam's beautiful Red Light District (yes, that red light district) at a fab Indonesian restaurant (the kindly Dutch did rule what is now Indonesia you know...) The annual event has become a quiet favorite at during the festival where filmmakers are invited by the two doc festivals and film online group to have good food and enjoy the company of fellow filmmakers. Wilson kicked off the evening at a meeting place with red glowsticks just to get everyone in the mood - so to speak... Also joining in on the fun was "
Burma VJ" producer
Helle Ulsteen. The film, which chronicles the organization Democratic Voice of Burma's efforts expose the brutal rule of the Southeast Asian country's military dictatorship, received terrific word of mouth, and a prize at this year's IDFA.

To anybody out there attending IDFA, please check out a screening of our film HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM - the untold story of the history of America’s ferocious appetite for oil from the insider’s perspective of the Energy Capital of the world, Houston, Texas. The film examines the geo-political factors that fuel our addiction through candid interviews with the Barons, Wildcatters, CEO’s and Roughnecks that comprise the world of Big Oil, as well as some of the leading thinkers in the Green Energy movement.
