Iowa-California filmmaker Nik Heftman of The Seven Times multi-media platform joins The Iowa Mercury’s Douglas Burns for a full rundown of the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival north of San Francisco.
Heftman is the director of the documentary, “The Negro Artist,” chronicling the life of prominent spoken-word artist Caleb Rainey. The Sebastopol Times wrote about the documentary — which the festival featured along with other top international films.
The online Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival remains open for those who want to see extraordinary filmmaking.
Burns and Heftman talk about a number of films and the community and people of Sebastopol in this podcast.
