Sujewa Ekanayake's "Date Number One" will have it's World Premier in Washington "City of Love" after all:

May '06 is gonna be huge for Date Number One. The flick will now have its World Premiere in DC on Sat May 13, 2 shows (7 PM & 9 PM) at Goethe-Institut (prior to this engagement coming into existence a 5/12 lo-key "preview screening" was set up at Kensington Row Bookshop, now that's been cancelled & the Goethe shows will require lots of promotion/bigger venue, higher profile and thus now the World Premiere label will have to be affixed to the Goethe shows, before that the Seattle shows had it). Then the Pacific Northwest premiere of the film happens May 19 Fri - 21 Sun, 6 shows (7 PM & 9 PM daily) at Seattle's Northwest Film Forum . I expect to have retail DVDs ready by the 5/13 World Premiere (if not, definitely by 5/19, and if not, definitely definitely at some point in May :).

Look for a review of the film and interview with Sujewa here very, very soon.
