Santa Monica, CA, USA
Vidiots video store will host Scott Hamilton for a screening of clips from his Academy Award nominated documentary, The Garden, followed by a question and answer session.

Scott's latest feature-length documentary The Garden, about the struggle of farmers in South Central Los Angeles to keep their 14-acre community garden, was nominated for a 2009 Academy Award for Best Documentary feature. Find out more about the movie at www.thegardenmovie.com

At its world premiere at the prestigious AFI Silverdocs film festival, The Garden won best documentary, and went on to garner rave reviews from the likes of Kenneth Turan of the L.A. Times who wrote: “Excellent! Its lessons about the levers of power and politics, and how easy it is to get co-opted, are relevant everywhere. The Garden is a potent human drama.”

Scott’s debut documentary, OT: Our Town, tells the amazing underdog story about the first play in twenty years at Dominguez High in Compton, California, and their attempt--with no stage, money or theatre experience--to produce Thornton Wilder's American classic Out Town. OT garnered rave reviews.

The Garden and OT are currently available for sale and rental at Vidiots. For more information call 310-392-8508
