Fireboys

August 3, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey

As a California resident, I'm acutely aware that "fire season" is no longer a small, hot sliver of the year out here. With the combined impact of climate change and drought, Californians pay attention to fire risk all year long. Our firefighters are deservedly considered heroes. But sadly too few of … [Read more...] about Fireboys

The House That Rob Built

February 24, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey Leave a Comment

When I was a young girl, no one ever told me that I could be an athlete. My mom dutifully enrolled me in dance classes and Camp Fire Girls.

Increasingly, documentary films are my favorite form of entertainment. My top film experience for 2018, FREE SOLO, forever altered my previously held perception that only blockbusters can keep you on the edge of your seat. So perhaps it's not surprising that THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM charmed me … [Read more...] about The Biggest Little Farm: Encouragement for Life’s Hardest Stuff

I’ll Push You

November 3, 2017 by Lisa M. Hendey Leave a Comment

On my personal bucket list is to take a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. So it's perhaps not surprising that I jump at any opportunity to screen a film which will carry me--even if only virtually--along the  ancient Way of St. James. My favorite takes on this spiritual journey have included … [Read more...] about I’ll Push You
