You’ve seen their giant animal sculptures all around Coachella Valley. What’s the story behind the artist couple, Karen and Tony Barone, who make them? That question inspired the local filmmakers Mary and Jon Orlin on a six-year journey to make the documentary “Something To Entertain You.” The film premiered at the AmDocs Film Festival and received an overwhelming response. Critics are calling the movie a “must-see”, “a beautiful love story” that “leaves you with a deeper appreciation for the art that surrounds us.”
The screening is part of the AmDocs Showcase, featuring some of the favorite films from the AmDocs Film Festival.
