Flanders House private screening in NYC

The All Things Bakelite film crew would like to acknowledge Flanders House, Flanders Investment & Trade, and everyone that helped make our private screening a success.  Thank you to everyone for attending!

The Baekeland Family members were thrilled to see their great patriarch honored in such a bold and beautiful way. Plastics industry people were impressed and continue to show support, artists and educators talked about the powerful impact the film will have on people around the globe.  The energy in the room was truly exhilarating, and coincidentally, it happened to be Hugh Karraker’s birthday!

We look forward to continuing our mission. Please contact us at [email protected], if you have any questions or would like to know more about our endeavor.
