Bob Claunch, Director Stu Maddux, Jack Reavley on the balcony
of the couple's Hollywood apartment at Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing Dec. 23, 2007Jack and I are very excited that our
documentary will be raising money for civil rights issues all next week. God knows we are ready for it after 55 years together as "friends", "long-time companions" "partners"- if you only knew all code words we've lived through. We witnessed with our own eyes the lunch counter sit-ins in the fifties, the feminist movement in the seventies: It's amazing that we are now actually getting to work ourselves on issues that affect both Jack and I so directly.
All the awards for this film have been amazing, but this screening in particular is so rewarding to think about because its a fund raiser. I hope anyone reading this will spread the word.
Our documentary,
Bob and Jack's 52-Year Adventure, will screen from January 11th-17th at the
Galaxy Cinema in Raleigh, North Carolina. (
DETAILS) We are gladly donating the film print (screening fees, etc.) and the theater has offered to give the proceeds to
Equality North Carolina. The Galaxy Cinema is so gracious to bring in the film's director,
Stu Maddux, for questions and answers on the 11th-13th. I know that people we find the experience something that they talk about days later; and, I hope that you will write to use here with your thoughts and maybe share your experiences as well. -Bob
