Bearded Child

Billed as a program full of "films other festivals wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll", the Best of the Bearded Child Film Festival as presented by Dan Anderson was a delightful evening of non-traditional films. Upon arriving I was handed a hot pink program listing, I took a seat and read over the titles. Immediately one name spoke to me and said, "I AM GOING TO BE AWESOME!" A film that combined an existential French playwright and a public television talk show host, "Charlie Rose by Samuel Beckett" was without a doubt the best of handful of shorts shown Friday night. There were actually only two that received less than stellar marks in my brain and even those were enjoyable.
