Entertainment & Filmmaker Interviews

My conversation with Director Margaret Byrne. We discuss her current documentary film,,"RAISING BERTIE"which will will be shown at this years Atlanta Film Festvial. Saturday, April 1, 2017, 5:00 PM — Druid Hills Presbyterian Church (directly across from the Plaza Theater) 1026 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30306  http://atlantafilmfestival.com/2017/raising-bertie/ Set in Bertie County, located in Eastern North Carolina, the film offers viewers a respectful and tender insight into the emotional lives of Reginald “Junior” Askew, David “Bud” Perry, and Davonte “Dada” Harrell. This raw and starkly poetic cinéma vérité film weaves their stories together as they navigate school, unemployment, violence, first love, fatherhood, and estrangement from family members and mentors, subtly exploring the complex relationships between generational poverty, economic isolation, and educational inequity. RAISING BERTIE TRAILER
