Yesterday's screening of "Waiting for Hockney" was packed with the families and friends of artist Billy Pappas, left, and Julie Checkoway, the film's director. (The photo was taken by Gary Vikan, director of the Walters Art Museum and a mentor to Pappas, at the Tribeca Film Festival.) Checkoway, a former English teacher at the Gilman School, now lives and works in Salt Lake City as a journalist and filmmaker, with her husband, Lee Thomsen.
While no more showings are scheduled at the festival, it's likely this film will be back for a screening in some way. Read more about it at the Film Festival site, and at the film's website. (The link is at the top left corner of this page.) The site also includes a recipe for Cookie Pappas's poppyseed cake. The cake was one she made for artist David Hockney for agreeing to meet with her son.
