"Bowling Ball Debacle"
Premiere to be held at our General Meeting
Thursday, March 16, 2023
6:30 - 8:30 PM - Video Lab
The Video Club' s 4th Short Dramatic Film will have its first public showing in the Video Lab on March 16th, 2023. Plan to attend this gala event.
"Bowling Ball Debacle" is a comedy involving fingers getting caught in a bowling ball, but it also makes several serious points. The director was veteran stage actor and director, Gila Zalon. Although it was  her first experience of directing film-style movie shooting, according to Producer Tom Nash she performed like a pro.
See the film, meet members of the cast and crew, and hear Director Gila Zalon and Producer Tom Nash discuss the recent efforts that went into planning, shooting, and editing "Bowling Ball Debacle." The author, Jeanne Sanner, an experienced actor and a former Village resident, also stars in the film.
 Socializing, Wine and Cheese Refreshments at 6:30 pm and Program at 7:00 pm. There is no charge and all residents and their guests are welcome.
