Local Film Festival Wins 10 Awards!

July 27, 2025

Film Producer Father Gerry Kleba and Film Director Tony West are the proud recipients of TEN Film Festival Awards! Those of us who are honored to have participated were all at the premier at the Hi-Pointe Theatre on July 27, 2025! Also, at the Atlanta Film Festival, the movie won BEST DOCUMENTARY.

A Black History Tour of St. Louis was inspired by and starred Fr. Gerry Kleba, whose appreciation for civil rights caused him to share the historic places of St. Louis and his role in it with many people, including Archbishop Rozanski. 

The cast includes: Fr. Gerald Kleba, Fr. Vincent Nyman, Jobyna Foster, Lynne Jackson, Vivian Gibson. Also in the photo is our friend Stephanie Bliss, Director of the Field House Museum which provided a space for the Dred Scott story filming in 2024 while the Old Courthouse was still closed for renovation.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
