Post screening euphoria

[Jo Carson]

It was great - the show sold out a week ahead, and the crowd was enthusiastic. People stayed for a question and answer period with the filmmaker and several of the speakers from the film - Richard Feather Anderson, Cerridwen Fallingstar and Leila Castle. In the audience were many folks who worked on the film: music composer Martin Gregory, still photographer Cindy Pavlinac, belly dancer Irena Nickels, associate producers John Reed and Dr. Pete Livingston, graphic artist Scott Valentino, poetry reader Iseult Jordan, singer Clare Hedin, aikido demonstrator Dylan Reed, and chi gung demonstrator Richard Bradshaw. The crowd seemed pleased; some went off to The Crystal Chalice in Fairfax for revelry while others congregated for a low key celebration with Jo. Thanks to everyone, especially to David Weinsoff for creating the wonderful Fairfax Documentary Film Festival!
