GIN RUMMY, 17min., USA
Directed by Suzanne Baird
I’m excited to share our project made from love and friendship..
Three best friends have been playing Gin Rummy every week for over 50 years. On this Gin Rummy night they have made other plans as a final bonding of the trio.
Get to know the filmmaker Suzanne Baird:
What motivated you to make this film?
There were several motivators. The biggest was that my mother was dying from Dementia. It was an illness that she had for about 10 years and was in the final phases. At the same time, Roe V. Wade was repealed, and this required an examination of the question of choice on many levels. Do we have dominion over our bodies, male or female, to make choices about our health and existence.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
I was really gratified! They were so positive and thoughtful. It was a great
feature of your festival. So appreciated!!
