Making Your Tea was an official selection at The 2006 Palm Beach International Film Festival. The screening was practically sold out and some very nice people had some very nice things to say about it. Thank you Palm Beach! This festival is great and I recommend it to filmmakers.

Two words come to mind after watching Making Your Tea - Responsibility and Accountability. Two important values that are lacking in todays society. Everyone is always looking for someone else to blame. It so refreshing to see a movie with substance. Keep them coming. almarlady

Making Your Tea is the story of an individual who had certain beliefs
about reality. She is faced with a moment of decision and decides
to accept responsibility for her actions. This is an excellent
example of the Objectivist philosophy caught on film.
More films, please.

Making Your Tea was such a powerful film that showed just how the decisions that you make in life affect what the outcome will be. It is sutble with its meaning, but it definitly makes you think about how your choose your own future. I loved this film and it shows true talent from an amazing mind.
