We had an excellent night of short narrative films here at the BHMC last week, headlined by Dawn Jones-Redstone’s Sista In The Brotherhood, a powerful look at the challenges women and people of color face in the work force.

It was an all-round great night and we are appreciative that Dawn, along with Michael Hull, Lara Gallagher, Jordan Ros, Shannon Willis, Josh Lunden, and The Whiteman Brothers put together a great program. Big thanks to the filmmakers and everyone who came out!
