BLACKSBURG, Va., Feb. 2, 2015 – Writer and director John Mulholland will be joined by producer Richard Zampella, for a free screening of their documentary "Cooper and Hemingway: The True Gen" on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

With never seen photos and footage from the Gary Cooper estate and John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, "Cooper and Hemingway: The True Gen" looks back at the friendship of writer Ernest Hemingway and actor Gary Cooper.
From 1940 when they met until their deaths just seven weeks apart in 1961, Cooper and Hemingway "connected, collided, clashed, and reconnected in Idaho, New York, Cuba, and Paris."
The 130-minute film, narrated by Sam Waterston, features interviews with Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, George Plimpton, and Patricia Neal.
Mulholland also wrote and directed "Inside High Noon" and "Of God & Country: Sergeant York." Other documentaries include "On MacBeth," "Eastern European Composers," "Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol," "Liza Minnelli on Meet Me in St. Louis," "Reflections on Gaslight," and "As Time Goes By: The Children Remember on Casablanca."
Zampella has produced numerous works by Mulholland including "Sergeant York: Of God & Country" and over 50 episodes of Hollywood Film Hour. He is the Managing Partner of TransMultimedia and has worked with The Museum of Modern Art and Starwood Hotel Corporation.
