(USA, 2018, 70 mins, color, NR) 

Directed by Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch 

An uncannily revealing biography of American photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe and a snapshot of the vibrant community of Jewish retirees they obsessively focused their camera’s lens on in the sunburned paradise of 1970s Miami Beach. - Letterboxd.com 

“An evocative portrait of this forgotten neighborhood and time in Miami Beach as initially documented and illuminated through the photographs of Sweet and Monroe. The film is at once a tale of two artists and a tale of a community at one point in time, both dynamic and unsustainable.” Tara Hakim, POV Magazine, 2/1/19
