Feedback From A Film Festival Attendee

Hello Michael

You don't know me, but I wanted to reach out to you. I just finished viewing a screener of Alzheimer's: A Love Story. As I'm wiping away tears, I had to track you down to express my awe and admiration for the love and caring you gave to Gregory.

You are a beautiful, loving soul. When we choose our life's partners, we are vowing to be there through the end. Watching you with Gregory in this film showed me how to do that with love and grace.

Thank you for your honesty in sharing that difficult, agonizing time in your life. You give us an example to which we can aspire when our end times come.

God bless you!

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: Largest Gay Neighborhood in San Francisco

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!

 The Green Room at The Castro where film makers and their entourage assembled before the screening. Beverages and snacks were served.

 Yours truly :-)

 Posters, postcards, and other ephemera from the various films

 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.

Frameline 40 Film Festival in San Francisco

If you are going to be in the San Francisco area on June 19 or June 23, ALZHEIMER'S: A Love Story will be screened as part of the Frameline 40 Film Festival which is the largest, oldest LGBTQ Film Festival in the world!
