First off, a Happy New Year to you all for 2018!

I feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as I look at the potential global reach of Grain of Sand. I have spent time updating the website since the Dubai International Film Festival and am now responding to those who have expressed an interest in screenings of the film.

The idea for Grain of Sand came in 2013 so it has been almost five years of ups and downs with the project. It gives me a huge sense of relief to finally see this project ‘out there’.

For those of you that have been folllowing my activities for a number of years you will know that I used to tour extensively. I needed a well-earned break from the road but I am looking forward to getting back out there with this film.

The Bahrain premiere will take place in February and I will be sending out information regarding this shortly.

Versions of the film will soon be available with French, German, Finnish and Estonian subtitles too with others to follow soon.

International media coverage has included the comments: ‘Jason Carter’s Grain of Sand is the soulful documentary the world needs right now’ - E Nina Rothe - Huffington Post

Thank you for your continued interest and support and I look forward to watching the film through your eyes at some point in 2018!

With best wishes from Jason Carter
