[Fmpro] A Duet inspired by the hit movie 'Juno' and another duet that Won for Once...

[John Stone]

Dana, Lwazi, and list,
 
Not all of our dreams come true but for the writers of "Once" it did at the Oscars.  Beating all the odds on a budget less than 100K with two hand held cameras, Glen Hansgard & Marketa Irglova won best song. 
Which is better a Grammy or an Oscar? Inspiring to all I hope,
 Lwazi, keep on writing perhaps...
I hope a few of you see it or hear it. This is the Indie film we should tell everyone about.
