A Benefit Premiere Film Event to Honor Veterans and Healthcare Workers. On Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 2 pm “What Happened at The Veterans Home?” a new award-winning film will premiere at the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA in a benefit for veteran’s organizations. One hundred free tickets are available by reservation only to veterans and healthcare workers (contact: info@nervygirlfilms.com), and a portion of each ticket sold will be donated to two important veteran’s organizations, SOLDIER ON!

“What Happened at The Veterans Home?” is a homegrown indie film, written, directed, produced, and scored by Western Mass musician Laura Wetzler.

This 50-minute award-winning film is an emotional drama about a disabled veteran, her nurse daughter, and a CNA aid worker caught dead center in the pandemic nursing home tragedy, who refuse to be silenced.

An Official Selection at 25 international film festivals, “What Happened at the Veterans Home?” has won numerous prestigious awards, including Best Screenplay in Paris, Best Feature in Athens, Best Humanitarian Film in Prague, Best Actress in Amsterdam (Judith Nelson Dilday) and Naples (Sonya Joyner), as well as Honorable Mention at The Cannes World Film Festival, among others.
