Our featured film is a documentary “When All That’s Left is Love”
The film is about the caregivers of individuals suffer- ing from dementia.
The film’s primary focus is on Marilyn and Shelly Gordon—the filmmaker’s parents.
Director Eric Gordon has returned to live with his parents so that he can relieve his aging mother, Marilyn, of the sole care for his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father, Shelly. With a camera in one hand, Eric joins his mother in caregiving, even as he captures behind-the-scenes footage of the progression of his fa- ther’s illness and his mother’s increasing inability to cope.
This film has won numerous awards.
Eric Gordon, the Director, will be on hand for a Q&A.
A man seeking advice from a Psychiatrist, comes to an unusual conclusion.

Thank You Letter From 2019 Scholarship Winner
Dear Donors,
Thank you to everyone involved in your organization for selecting me as the recipient of the Tampa Bay Film Society Film/TV/Digital Scholarship Award. I am deeply appreciative of your generous financial support and I am sincerely honored to have been chosen.
I am currently a graduated high school senior who will be attending Florida Atlantic University in the fall of 2019 as a Multimedia Studies major. With that degree, I plan to become a professional film producer of modern documentaries that highlight the social and environmental issues of the world. I plan to pursue this as an effort to provide greater awareness and influence the decisions of the public and government about the current state of the world and what can be done to aid it. Thanks to your charitable funding, the pursuance of my goal has been eased and I am one step closer to achieving it.
Receiving this scholarship has reduced my financial burden and allowed me to concentrate more on what is essential to myself and my education rather than my monetary struggles. Additionally, my desire and motivation towards my goals have been empowered by your donation; it has given me the opportunity to make my education a choice of determination rather than a chance of affordability. With the award, I am also inspired to become a person of aid to my community. I imagine that one day I shall be able to help students achieve their career goals just as you have helped me.
Thank you again for your generosity and support.
Sincerely,
J’Mya Brooks

This group stresses professionalism in screenwriting but is open to all scriptwriters, whether beginners or advanced, as well as actors wishing to hone their cold reading skills.
The first 45 minutes of each meeting is a writing lesson dealing with different aspects of the craft followed by readings and critiques. Several members of the group sign up monthly to read 10 to 30 pages of their script.
To be put on the mailing list as meeting reminders, email Ellen Schnur at eschnur4@gmail.com with your email address.
First time drop-ins are welcome, but, since we meet in a smallish room with limited (15) seating, we request that you contact Ellen if you plan to be there.
