Bernice Perry Queen of Sinatraland, (2008) 12 minutes
Bernice Perry is an 83 year-old songwriter who has been producing her own public access television shows for 37 years. Her life and work, inspired by Frank Sinatra has a haunting quality that forces us to ask questions about definitions of celebrity, nostalgia, and reality in a media saturated world.
Works in progress:
A Chat With Glendora
Glendora Folsom Buell is a physicist, philosopher, and self-made television personality, still making weekly public access tv programs at age 81. Local media-maker Victoria Kereszi weaves a charming portrait of this television pioneer, her search for God, Justice, and Happiness as she prepares for her death and the preservation of a legacy.
