Interview with Alan Nero | Short Docs

Sitting in the middle of an empty movie theater, Alan Nero describes how his father was able to transform an old building into a community landmark located in the small mountain town of Wilmet, Connecticut. The Gilson Cafe and Cinema, currently closed because of the pandemic, is the subject of Alan’s short film COVIDEO, a story about a father and a son, and their efforts to lift a town’s spirits via a theater marquee.
