New England Connection: This is the latest in a series of films (nine and counting!) based on actual letters to the editor printed in the Provincetown Banner. Making the 'To the Editor' series has been a labor of love. Spending time in Provincetown, one of my happiest places in the world, and making films about life in this idyllic place is pure pleasure.
