Film Doug Holm Benefit on Sunday

Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Fri, Apr 25 at 3:13 PM

Consider this a reminder to help local film writer Doug Holm on Sunday, April 27. Doug has cancer and needs expensive treatment. Friends, cinephiles, and well-wishers are gathering for a fun event at Cinema 21 this Sunday to help him raise money.
