Bean and the Babysitter screens at the Spring 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, February 3
by Anita LaBelle - published 2023-01-30
Bean and the Babysitter directed by Jason Michael Roberts examines what occurs as opposing ways of life are forced to come together in grave situations. The film begins with babysitter Pat arriving at the farm to take care of Bean. As the parents quickly take off, the isolating and quiet nature of the farmhouse becomes evident to Pat, who is accustomed to city-life as a student. Bean, a young boy obsessed with everything western, longs to have a partner to play sheriff with but Pat denies his wishes given that she is too busy studying anatomy for her upcoming final. As night passes, Pat awakes to the realization that Bean’s parents have not yet returned - and will not return. This revelation procures different results from Bean and Pat, as they must now figure out how to survive on their own.

Susan Hillary’s inspiring short The Pratt In The Hat screens at the Spring 2023 New Jersey Film Festival today Saturday, January 28
by Lauren Bromberg - published 2023-01-28
What, at first glance, may seem like a senior citizen’s decorative hat collection try-on haul video, is actually so much more. Pratt in the Hat (2021), directed by Susan Hillary, is a beautiful, 14-minute documentary about the inspiring, service-oriented life of Dr. Frances Pratt (otherwise known as Dr. Hat, Hat Frat, and the Pratt in the Hat), who is as poised and charming as her 100+ flowered, feathered, lacy, sequin-covered, rhinestone-covered hats that come in every color. Dr. Pratt is the President of Nyack’s chapter of the NAACP and she is the first black, head nurse of the Nyack Hospital Emergency Room. In this documentary, Dr. Pratt tells us about the importance of solidarity, education, voting rights, and, subliminally, fashion as we admire lovely, still photographs (taken by Susan Hillary, Dorice Arden, and Joe Zakko) of Dr. Pratt in her hats and matching outfits.
