ROCK STAR - TURNED FILM DIRECTOR, FRED DURST was in Sonoma on December 13, to screen his film "The Education of Charlie Banks" at the Sebastiani Theatre.  The evening began with Fred mingling with patrons, sponsors and guests at Roessler Cellars with wine and yummy appetizers by Olive & Vine.  The buzz was definitely in the air to have such a well-known artist in our midst.  Bill Zabit, who was insturmental in arranging Fred's appearance and who also serves on the Board of Directors of the Sonoma International Film Society, knows Fred through their relationship of his music recording studio.

After the film, a Q&A with Fred was conducted by Board Chair, Kevin McNeely.  The audience received a great insight into the making of the film and Fred's passion for directing.  Audience members also got the opportunity to ask Fred questions about the production and execution of the film.
