The last two weeks of the retrospective moves to Port Washington, for screenings on the evenings of October 22nd and November 13th at the Port Washington Library. The first film, THE WAR ROOM, a political documentary featuring George Stephanopolous and James Carville, provided Cutler with an Oscar nomination, and the final screening highlights Cutler’s fictional directorial debut, IF I STAY starring Chloe Moretz.
