As Black History Month winds down, the Canadian release of A Winter Tale has received an overwhelmingly positive response from cinema goers. Peter Williams (Gene), Michael Miller (Dx), Ryan Glasgow (Lloyd), Ryan Ishmael (Sibeka), Finlandia Casellas (Rain), Valerie Buhagiar (Elaine), Bobby Del Rio (Guy), and Nicole Stamp (Julie) reunited for the celebrated launch to meet and greet all those that attended throughout the month. The many youth groups that saw the film resulted in teens sharing stories of their own reality during the Q&A sessions.

While the GTA enjoyed the theatrical release, Frances-Anne Solomon headed to Edmonton, Los Angeles and New York for special screenings.
