A Good Cause

Last Tuesday, February 12th, BendFilm and the Tower Theatre premiered the first film in their new Indie Reels series, a celebration of independent film outside of the annual festival.

The brainchild of new BendFilm director Sandy Henderson and Tower Theatre chairman Eli Ashley, the series debuted with the film "The Breast Cancer Diaries", and drew a packed house.

A sometimes sober, sometimes bitterly funny commentary, the film chronicled the story of a thirty-something Maine newscaster who turns the camera on herself during her ordeal with breast cancer. The excellent documentary was followed by an equally interesting panel of local doctors, discussing the disease and answering questions from the audience.

It was an enlightening evening - part entertainment, part education, but wholly for a good cause. Getting the opportunity to be part of and photographing important events like these makes it all worth while for me. More pics here ...
