I’m happy to announce that my indie documentary short Ralph Rotella: The Sole of Syracuse, co-directed by my Syracuse University colleague Shane Johnson, is an official selection of the 2023 Culver City Film Festival.
The film will be screened in the 2 p.m. block on Monday, Dec. 4 at Cinemark 18 and XD, 6081 Center Drive in Los Angeles.

Wow!! Congratulations, Francis!! This is great!
When I read the first info you shared about your film, I immediately wanted to see it. Will there be an opportunity to see it online or on TV?
To me, there’s something so very “down to earth” and essential about shoe repairmen. I remember one from my growing up years–the smell of his shop, the shoes in rows, waiting for his expert hands or polished and lined up, ready for their owners to claim them.
Again, congratulations! And it’s wonderful to hear, also, that you’re continuing to recover from your harrowing surgery. Sending all good wishes for you and your family.
Warmly,
Kathy
