Full Frame Fest

The response to Beautiful Son was very positive with Q & A going on for more than half an hour. I was very grateful to have Laura and Scott Bono to help out with questions regarding treatments for autism. The staff and board members of Full Frame were most welcoming. What a treat.

I recommend 2 films I saw " Betrayal" by Ellen Kuras (Full Frame Spectrum Award) and "Man on Wire" by James Marsh, which won the Special Jury Award and Audience Award. Very inspiring films.
