12.02.22-Manchester, Vermont
On a beautiful starlit night in Manchester, VT one of the stars of The Artist & the Artist returned home. Pat Musick was in her glory, sharing greetings with friends and neighbors in a town where she and her husband, Jerry Carr spent much of their married life.
Many in the packed house were filled with wonder. Their friends took part in so many of our nation’s most historic adventures. After many standing ovations the sold-out crowd settled in for questions and comments from Pat, Bill, and Todd.
Please enjoy some of the photos from this glorious screening and celebration. Not everybody who wanted a ticket got in. Clearly, we’re going to need to come back for an encore!
MANCHESTER — “The Artist and the Astronaut” has its Vermont premiere Dec. 2 at Burr and Burton Academy.
After the screening, one of its subjects — artist Pat Musick — will be on-hand to answer questions, as will director Bill Muench and composer Todd Hobin.
The documentary chronicles the intersection of two lives: Musick and her late husband, astronaut Col. Jerry Carr, commander of the Skylab Orbital Workshop from Nov. 16, 1973 to Feb. 8, 1974. The film moves chronologically, using archival material and talking heads to capture these two disparate lives, their connection, and the ways in which they tapped into social currents sweeping the country over the decades.
