~WORK IN PROGRESS~ Since 2013, Paula has programmed hundreds of films for Cinema Detroit, as many as 5 or 6 a week, from the commercial to the experimental and locally made and every budget in between. This list is handy for recalling the name of that amazing film you saw last month or a few years ago.
