Hi Debbie, I am so sorry for the loss of Robert I deeply loved his work although I never met Robert. I had just recently written him an email about my wanting to show his film Marking Time in Havana this December. I never heard back. I have shown his work there before in the past and would like permission to show the work this year. I am sure he would give me permission. The film is on vimeo and we can download that for the festival unless there is a high quality digital file somewhere. Here is a form letter that I sent out to the filmmakers that I wanted to show. Can I have your permission to show this film there.
Thanks and again I am so sorry to his of Robert's death.
