Moon River Junction
Time passes all too quickly, especially in this experimental short film by JAM's Technical Director and Senior Producer Chico Eastridge. Watch the phases of the moon and light imagery illuminate the clock tower of the Coolidge Hotel and streets of White River Junction. Each frame represents one hour of time in 2023. Eastridge created the installation for JAM's Light River Junction.

Best Local Photography
Hurry to the Howe Library to see winners of the annual Elden Murray Photographic Competition. Top honors went to pro shooter Ezra McGinley-Smith; Hartford High student Nathaniel Flockton; and JAM Producer Jan Abbott for portraits of her 97-year-old mother. "It means a lot to be recognized. Because it's of my mother it's a lot more special to me," said Abbott. Flockton summed up his award-winning still life saying, "There was a spirit of the moment. I decided to pull out my camera, take a few photos, and there we go!" The show ends on March 6.
Produced by JAM's Rick Russell
