AFI FEST Goes Virtual With Exciting
Films That You Can Stream Soon

Like most things, AFI FEST (presented by
Audi) looks a little different this year. Instead
of queuing up to see a film at the TCL Chinese
Theater on Hollywood Blvd., or having
the chance to see a filmmaker Q&A at the
Egyptian Theater, Cinemacy and the rest of
Los Angeles audience-goers are attending the
festival online this year. But AFI FEST is
The Sound of Metal, 76 Days and Nine Days courtesy of AFI FEST.
still looking to promise the same cutting-edge
festival experience, with world premieres, to
video conference conversations with filmmakers
and top talent, we’re enjoying it all from
the comfort of our couches. Below are a few
early standouts from the festival, which will
be available to stream and on VOD later this
year and as films find distribution.
The Sound of Metal (130 min.)
As a musician, the most important instrument
you have is your hearing. The Sound of
Metal, written and directed by Darius Marder
and story by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine),
explores the emotional and physical unraveling
of what it’s like to lose your identity beyond
all control.
Riz Ahmed plays Ruben, a heavy metal
drummer who unexpectedly starts to go deaf
before playing a show with his bandmate and
partner, Lou (Olivia Cooke).
Terrified and confused, Ruben learns that
with only a 20% hearing capacity, his lifestyle
as a touring musician is forced to stop. Ruben
is stubborn to accept his new reality but
throughout the course of the film, he begins to
understand the beauty in the unknown.
The way in which director Darius Marder
works with sound–the ringing of tinnitus, the
strain of trying to understand the muffled
conversations, and lead Riz Ahmed gives a
phenomenal performance that will certainly
be discussed come awards season.
‘The Sound of Metal’ is being distributed by
Amazon Studios, and will be available to stream
on Amazon Prime Video on December 4, 2020.
76 Days (93 min.)
A new documentary, 76 Days, captures the
heart-pounding and heartbreaking moments
inside the walls of Wuhan’s hospitals during
their nation’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak
(the film’s title accounts for the number

Vice President Joe Biden and
Sen. Kamala Harris Endorse Rep.
Maxine Waters for Congress
WASHINGTON DC – Today, former Vice
President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris
announced their support of Congresswoman
Maxine Waters who is running for reelection
to Congress from California’s 43rd Congressional
District. The 43rd Congressional
District of California includes a large part
of South Central Los and the diverse cities of
Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale,
Lomita and Torrance.
“In her years of service to California’s
43rd Congressional District, Congresswoman
Maxine Waters has delivered results as a
legislator, community organizer, and fearless
advocate for women and children, people
of color, and the poor,” said former Vice
President Joe Biden. “She has fought to
protect and strengthen the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau and to ensure affordable
housing for all – I’m proud to support her
legislation to end homelessness nationwide.
The first African American and first woman to
chair the House Financial Services Committee,
Congresswoman Waters has been critical
in confronting the devastating impact of the
COVID-19 crisis on working families, the
poor, and small businesses across the country,
securing relief including small business
funding and a moratorium on evictions and
foreclosures. Congresswoman Waters is a
proven champion for her district and working
families across the country, and I’m proud
to support her reelection.”
“I’m so proud to endorse my friend Congresswoman
Maxine Waters to represent
California’s 43rd Congressional District,” said
Senator Kamala Harris. “In times of crisis or
collapse, Congresswoman Waters has always
met the moment with vigor and enthusiasm,
understanding that change is always possible
for those who are willing to fight for it. She
is a leader in her caucus and has worked
with the Speaker of the House, Treasury
Department, and Federal Reserve to advance
legislation to confront the devastating impact
of the coronavirus pandemic on our nation’s
public health and the economy. I encourage
everyone in California’s 43rd district to get
out the vote and support Congresswoman
Waters for reelection.” •

Anticipation, Anxiety
and Anarchy
As I write this there are just 14
days left. Just two week until it’s
over, or will it be? The anticipation
is a killer. People all over
the country are anxious. They’re
anxious about the outcome, and they are
anxious about the aftermath. Regardless
of the outcome, one half of our country
is going to be extremely happy and the
other half not so. Believe it or not, regardless
of the outcome life will go on. If you
find yourself on the winning side you will
expect things to be hunky dory for the next
four years. If you are on the losing side,
you will have to learn to accept, tolerate
and move on. Not since the Civil War has
our country been so divided. Similar to
the 1860’s, community members, friends,
and family members are fighting against
each other, secretively, or out in
the open. Flags are being stolen.
Rallies, parades, boat armadas all
are being used to promote one
or the other candidate. This is
America where you can express
your views freely, but you may
face backlash or your Twitter
account might be shut down.
Some of the anxiety of many is
due to the recent summer delve
into anarchy. One definition of anarchy is
“the absence of government”. God has put
into place a civil government to protect us.
As Christians we are to respect our leaders
and follow the laws of the land. Without a
civil government there would simply be chaos.
Yes, life will go on after November 3rd.
There is a more powerful ruler than who ever
we elect as our next president. Our current
president’s name might be the most recognized
name in the history of the world. He
is either loved or hated by a great majority
of our planet’s population. But, even Donald
