"Nona's Supper Club," is the latest production of creative powerhouse, Amy Poux (Indie Shorts Filmmaker & New York Women in Film awards) whose film short "Do Nothings" won awards in film festivals from Tokyo to Chicago. The stellar cast and poignant story of "Nona's Supper Club" is not to be missed!
