A Special Screening for La Briffe Subscribers

A virtual event

As most of you know, I spent the Covid years working on a documentary with Laura Gabbert, director of City of Gold. It’s called Food and Country, and its about the people – independent farmers, ranchers, fishermen and restaurateurs – who struggle to provide our food. You can watch the trailer here: www.foodandcountryfilm.com.

This week we open in theaters across the country. The schedule is below. Then, on October 22, Food and Country will be available to rent on Amazon,  iTunes, and other platforms. But before that, I’m hosting a special virtual event for La Briffe subscribers.

Please join me for a viewing party and discussion on Thursday, October 10^th starting at 8 PM eastern time. We’ll screen the film and  then I’ll be joined by a few surprise guests to talk with you and take questions.

If that time’s not convenient, we’ll archive the entire event for a week so you can watch it whenever you want.

To sign up, go here. You will have to register for a free Kinema account, and the event will cost $3.99 (which is less than what it will cost to rent after October 22).
