ironymaidenPatrinell: The Total Experience
there is nothing, nothing like seeing the world premiere of a film about a hometown hero. documentary profile of Patrinell Wright, founder and director of the Total Experience Gospel Choir. the film is good, and worth seeing especially for its chronicle of the changing landscape of the Central District neighborhood of Seattle. it's a complicated narrative about race, church politics, and economics with a ton of great music.
what you can't have is Pat Wright getting the entire Egyptian theater to stand, hold hands, and sing with her after the film. she didn't ask us, we just did it. she is a treasure and I am sorry that she is retiring.
