I went last night. It was a total success. An honest and good event.

There was excitement in the air. Good conversation followed the films.

Several film directors flew in to discuss their documentaries.

The most attended showing was The Incomparable Rose Hartman. You don't know Rose, but you know her famous celebrity photographs.  The director Otis Mass is a Jacksonville native. He, as well as his parents,  were in the audience.

Apparently, Jacksonville is the second city the film has screened.

The trailer is on the link:
