N. Cal’s Directors Guild Does It Up by Sky Tallone
THE DIRECTOR GUILD OF AMERICA'S NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CONTINGENT
held its annual party on October 15th in the deluxe downtown SF digs of the Club Universe, replete with string ensemble. Well attended, a large portion of the crowd was faculty from the Academy of Art University, there to hear the keynote speaker Diane Baker's State of the Cinema address, although an excellent time was had by all.
