Kirk and a small group attended the public screening of the short movie "Chocolate" at the 17th Annual FirstGlance Film Festival Los Angeles.
The movie was written, directed, and edited by the very talented Thiago Dadalt and is about Eve, a woman with early onset Alzheimer's, who wanders from home, ending up in the homeless community in Los Angeles. Eve is played with amazing sensitivity by Piercey Dalton and there are also very strong performances by Joao Bounassar, Amy Argyle and Talia Bacha.
Remarkably, this movie was shot last summer and completed not long before Nancy went missing on October 15th.
The movie was nominated in four categories for the London International Film Festival, and Amy Argyle won for best supporting actress.
Watching this movie was, frankly, very emotionally difficult as it reflected many aspects of losing Nancy.

Watching this movie was, frankly, very emotionally difficult as it reflected many aspects of losing Nancy.
But it is also an uplifting movie; it carries the message of the realities of Alzheimer's Disease in our society and how we can help prevent future wanderings and losses of loved ones.
Chocolate will be part of film festival in NYC next week, and then will go on to be screened at Cannes.
The hope on the parts of the producer and team is that they can turn this into a full-length movie, and Thiago is working on the script.
