The film opened June 3 at Camera Cinemas in San Jose, Calif., as well as Movies at the Museum in Portland, Maine; with additional screenings at The Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio; The Texas Theatre in Dallas; and the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, N.Y., where Robin Hessman will be in person for a Q&A session.
