On Monday May 5th we held a Press Conference at the Jewish Museum, to announce the film and its discoveries. Alongside Bruce & Rene on the podium were Dr Gabriel Barkay of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, former Detective Inspector Colin Taylor from the Metropolitan Police, Bishop Shelby Spong, Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe, and Renee Fratpietro from Lakehead University’s Paleo DNA lab.

On Friday May 9th Bloodline premiered in New York City amid a fanfare of media coverage and controversy. The evening shows at the Village East Cinema were largely sold out all weekend, as was the afternoon screening on Sunday,and Bruce & Rene’s Q&A sessions were well received by the packed audiences.
The media coverage around the opening has been great. The film was reviewed by all the majors including The New York Times, Time Out New York, The New York Post, The New York Sun, The Village Voice, & The New York Press.
The film got a fantastic review from Sandy Kenyon, the film critic on New York’s ABC News, who concluded with :
“Intriguing and fascinating…it’s the kind of picture you will be talking about long after you leave the theater.”
Mathew Nestel of boxoffice.com gave Bloodline 4 stars and a glowing review :
“unparalleled revelations deposed front and center render the picture a gem that unpretentiously swings for the fences and lands in the alleyways the next town over”
