28th Feb 2013 - ALL THE WAY THROUGH EVENING CLOSES AFTER 13 WEEK RUN ALL THE WAY THROUGH EVENING has finally closed after a stellar 13 week season in Australian Cinemas, outlasting the likes of blockbusters such as PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER and THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. When I reached Mimi Stern-Wolfe (the main subject of the film) to explain that the film has finally closed, she remarked: "It's so much more than I ever anticipated and makes me glad that I devoted my life to this music". Thank you to everyone who has come along to support the film at the cinema these last 13 weeks and has helped to share Mimi's story and this beautiful music. Rohan x
