film just in time for Valentine's Day!

February 5th Thursday Night, 7:30-9:30-Raleigh Studios
Screening Room- 5300 Melrose Ave-Tickets: $13 – includes movie
and chocolate reception

TWO SCREENINGS: 7:30 and 8:15
BOTH FOLLOWED BY CHOCOLATE RECEPTION: INDICATE RESERVATION TIME IN YOUR RSVP info@chocumentary.com

Indulge in a special screening of the new chocumentary IN SEARCH OF THE HEART OF CHOCOLATE, and enjoy a sumptuous chocolate reception created by Chef Susie Norris, author of CHOCOLATE BLISS. The event will showcase HAPPY CHOCOLATES, CAKE AND ART EROTIC CHOCOLATES, and many other local artisan chocolatiers. Tasting, chocolate-shopping, film screening - this event is must for film and chocolate lovers!

Award-winning filmmaker Sarah Feinbloom produced IN SEARCH OF THE HEART OF CHOCOLATE, a delicious romp through the rich and creamy, melt in your mouth, passionate world of chocolate. Join Sarah's journey as she searches for the origins of her chocolate obsession, interviewing chocolate enthusiasts along the way, delving into chocolate cake, art, fantasy, spirituality, sex, love and hot fudge, and searching the past to uncover chocolate's special place in our hearts. IN SEARCH OF THE HEART OF CHOCOLATE recently premiered at the Palm Springs International Short Fest and is making its way to chocolate lovers everywhere.

When cookbook author/chocolatier Susie Norris saw Sarah's film, and Sarah tasted Susie's line of confections HAPPY CHOCOLATES, they knew they had something common. Their partnership spans the worlds of chocolate, media, good taste, and the LA food scene. Susie and Sarah are currently developing several food shows for television and a line of chocolate bath and beauty products. Their CHOCOLATE BLISS EVENING is being held a week before Valentines Day, and includes a sumptuous chocumentary and a cornucopia of chocolate to taste and enjoy.

Come mingle with chocolate and film lovers! A great evening for singles, those attached, and anyone in between.

This event is being sponsored by Bal-Maiden Films-telling powerful stories, building communities, and changing lives-www.balmaiden.com
