Frameline 40: The oldest and largest GLBTQ Film Festival, San Francisco

What an adventure being in SF during Gay Pride Week to see our documentary, ALZHEIMER'S: A Love Story, on the screen of the grand Castro Theater with 1,300 supportive, friendly gay men, lesbians, transgenders, and other supportive, friendly supporters.

Here are some photographs which can only begin to show the amazing feelings I experienced:

The Castro Theater, built in 1922, seats 1,300 people.

Our documentary, ALZHEIMER'S: A Love Story
was part of the "Up Close & Personal" series of shorts and documentaries. 

Yours truly!

 1,300 people saw the documentary.



Enjoyed the reunion with Great Niece Jennie who is doing an internship in San Francisco at Nordstroms Department Store. She not only attended our documentary twice, but also sat through many other films with me and we enjoyed several dinners together.

A tribute on Market and Castro to those killed in Orlando, Florida.

Between shows the organ entertained the crowded. "San Francisco,"the final piece always got the audience clapping and singing along.

Applause after the opening Frameline 40 credits at each show brought down the house.

This is a video taken by Jennie of my comments during the Q&A after the screening of the documentary. The question was, "The documentary only showed the best of the worst times. Please tell me there were times you argued or that you got frustrated. Please tell us a little more about those times.
