Next film: September 27 Knife Skills Filmmaker: Thomas Lennon (Running time: 40 min.) Nominated for Academy Award Best Documentary Short Subject. The very upscale Edwins Restaurant is hardly typical. For one thing, it's not owned by a celebrity chef. And for another, most of the staff had no culinary experience. Find out who's preparing this exquisite French food, who's impeccably serving it -- who hired them all, and why. Please join us for Jody's Documentary Film Series -- you'll be glad you did!
