SPECIAL PARK THEATRE FILMMAKER SERIES EVENT
Enjoy a sneak preview of a major new short film heading for the film festivals starting in July.
Oscar®winner, Ernest Thompson, wrote and directed (and stars in the film). It also stars Emmy®winner Gordon Clapp and Lisa Bostnar. All three will be at the screening on June 29 for a talkback Q&A with the audience.

Written and directed by On Golden Pond Academy Award winner Ernest Thompson, this short film is adapted from his one-act play by the same name. In it, Chas Potter, a small-town New Hampshire voter, for decades has written no-holds-barred letters to his senator in Washington, D.C. The content of his missives may be more profane than profound but there’s no mistaking the constituent’s patriotic concern, culminating in an uproarious confrontation when the senator has finally had enough and comes calling. The story is more timely than ever. And even funnier. And it’s crazy funny. And unexpectedly moving. And even reassuringly optimistic, proving that authentic human connection can still trump our political differences.
