 in memory of my father
...but what about me?
IN MEMORY OF MY FATHER is the long labor of love for actor/director Christopher Jaymes. The story is about a Hollywood mogul who bribes one of his sons to make a documentary about his death. It has been described as reminiscent of Woody Allen or PT Anderson. The already critically acclaimed and multi-award winning film was screened during 2005 through 2007 at festivals in and outside of the USA.
In June, 2005 IN MEMORY...made its world premiere at the Cinevegas Film Festival in Las Vegas, NV. It won the Grand Jury Prize.
