"FERRON: girl on a road" Film Festival listings

Ferron is an amazing woman. She has an intense spirituality and love of life. When I was in her poetry writing workshop last year at BMC's, The Gathering in Angoloa, MI, I felt like I was in the presence of sacred wisdom.

*********************************************
Hey Folks,

We are so excited to announce the early list of Film Festivals that will be
screening Gerry Roger's captivating and beautifully shot documentary.....

"Ferron: girl on a road"

After 10 years, Ferron and her band reunite for a 3 island, 3 concert tour.
The film follows them from the rehearsal in Ferron's little house on Saturna
island
to the road..........

Part performance film, part biopic, “Ferron: girl on a road” traces, the
life, the songs,
the loves, the heartbreaks, and the pioneering path carved by a true folk
legend.
Intimate, and sweeping all at once, this film moves beyond “chronicle”
and captures
in word and deed, the essence of a visionary artist, and the soul of an
icon.

Please pass this on to anyone you think would like to see it.

The film will be screening at the following festivals - with plenty more to
