Filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman recalls her encounter with Robert Redford
In 1978, Menlo Park resident and documentary filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman answered her phone and heard:
“My boss [Robert Redford] would like to see your work. He will bring you, your producer and your slide show to New York.”
“His project The Solar Film was nominated for an Oscar,” recalls Dorothy. “Our slide show Do Saints Really Glow? became RADIANCE: The Experience of Light .
Dorothy believes RADIANCE has relevance today, when as she says “everything is so fragile…it may promote healing.”
Her recollection of Redford: “He was such a humane person, so devoted to the environment.”
