Rich May Client’s Documentary Premieres in Boston


Kate Churchill, a client of Rich May, is set to screen her first feature documentary, Enlighten Up!, in Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts, followed by a one week run at the Kendall Square Cinema. In the film, Kate Churchill strives to prove that yoga can transform anyone and her story follows disbeliever Nick Rosen, a 29 year-old journalist from New York City, as he explores yoga and its benefits. Throughout the documentary, the production team circles the globe talking to celebrity teachers, entrepreneurs, mystics, gurus, mad men and saints, searching for the true meaning of yoga.
