Movie Night: Nothing Like Chocolate & Chocolate Tasting!
Requested donation: $5 to support the studio and for chocolate tasting.
This is a documentary film about a close friend of mine, David “Mott” Friedman. He started the a chocolate factory in Grenada, in the Carribean. Living on the island, he became aware that the local cocoa growers were paid very little for their beans, which were exported and made into gourmet chocolate. He established a cooperative that pays the cocoa growers a fair price for their beans, and then makes the chocolate locally. The factory is owned and run by Grenadian locals. The chocolate has twice been awarded coveted Silver Medals at the top international chocolate festival. At the movie night, everyone will have a chance to sample the company’s delicious chocolate! -Dan

July 15th – Finding Vivian Maier – Hosted by Angel Neville
Who is Vivian Maier? This is a documentary about the brilliant photographer Vivian Maier, whose genius went undiscovered for years as she worked as a nanny. How Maier lived in obscurity, and how thousands of her photographs were discovered in storage after her death is explored in this meditation on art, fame, and recognition. Now considered one of the 20th century’s greatest street photographers, Vivian Maier was a mysterious person who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that went unseen during her lifetime. Since buying her work by chance at auction, amateur historian John Maloof has crusaded to put this prolific photographer in the history books. Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never-before-seen photographs, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her.
