SARATOGA SPRINGS — If you’ve spent time in the regional arts community over the past couple of decades you’ve likely come across the creative efforts of musician, writer and filmmaker Charles Sweeney.
His new film, “The Vow,” has recently been screening in Manhattan and will have its Capital Region showing Friday, Aug. 5 on WMHT, we are told. Check listings for screening time.
TMFF (The Monthly Film Festival) gave the film 4-1/2 out-of-5 stars and says this: “We all know the sad story of Madame Butterfly and her tragic love affair. Well, Charles Sweeney invites us to a sort of alternative ending of the famous opera. However, his short film, ‘The Vow‘, doesn’t take place in the early 20th century, but in the United States of our very present.”
