[Frameworks] Robert Todd

[Dominic Angerame]

Hi Debbie, I am so sorry for the loss of Robert I deeply loved his work
although I never met Robert. I had just recently written him an email about
my wanting to show his film Marking Time in Havana this December. I never
heard back. I have shown his work there before in the past and would like
permission to show the work this year. I am sure he would give me
permission. The film is on vimeo and we can download that for the festival
unless there is a high quality digital file somewhere. Here is a form
letter that I sent out to the filmmakers that I wanted to show. Can I have
your permission to show this film there.

Thanks and again I am so sorry to his of Robert's death.
