About this Event
For what and why do we work? From Windrider Productions and Kern Family Foundation come five short documentaries. Five unique perspectives— a police chief, an engineer, a composer, a boxer, and a marketing manager— explore the deeper places that motivate the work that they do. In each of their callings, they find ways to enrich the lives of their family, friends, communities, and the wider world.
Join us at the Delancey Street Screening Room (600 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA) at 7 PM for a one hour program, featuring a film from 2022 Best Short Doc Academy Award winning director, Ben Proudfoot. Esther Lee Cruz, cast of "Love Made Visible," will be present for a Q&A with director, Ben Suliteanu. Following the Q&A, there will be snacks, refreshments, and a chance to connect with cast and other attendees.
