How well do we ever know our parents? This thought occurred to me when I spent time with my mother and her friends over the weekend. I was with them in a social setting on their turf, and it was almost like seeing Mom as a person – not just a mother – for the first time. I chatted with many of her friends and felt as if I'd finally arrived as an actual adult. I was privy to candid stories, confessions and insecurities. From the corner of the room, I observed complicated dynamics among friends, husbands, wives, others. These could be my own friends, I thought.

In the last couple of years, Rocky Mountain PBS has placed great importance in hosting free public screenings and discussions of programs that will later be on TV.

I eat documentaries for breakfast. Seriously, I can't see enough. Once I saw "Hoop Dreams" in 1994, I was hooked, and I've spent the years since catching up on the greats  – "Hearts and Minds," "Grey Gardens," "Gates of Heaven," etc. – and seeing all the new ones. It's why I love my job at Rocky Mountain PBS and why I love coordinating our ITVS Community Cinema screenings. It is extra exciting to me, then, to see two local filmmakers enjoy serious success with their ambitious, thoughtful documentaries.

People, I love all 115 of you who braved that awful weather Wednesday night to join us for our January ITVS Community Cinema screening of "Banished." I had friends/coworkers who reluctantly came to the screening because they knew the subject matter would be difficult, and it was. But, thanks to a powerful and insightful discussion with our panel, there was some hope in the air as we said our last goodbyes.
