In November, the Virginia Film Festival celebrated 20 years of fine films and fine discussion about them. With family the theme, “Kin Flicks” brought together the College family — faculty, students and alums — who presented their films. The four-day event kicked off with director John Sayles’ Honeydripper, a tale of the birth of rock ’n’ roll set in the Deep South of the early 1950s that co-stars Sean Patrick Thomas (English Language and Literature, Drama ’92). Thomas, Sayles and Sayles’ producer and life partner Maggie Renzi were on hand afterwards to discuss making the film.
