SPECIAL GUESTS: Jon Brick, director, along with Ronzo's friends from the film. Ron Shapiro, also known affectionately as "Ronzo," was a celebrated cultural icon and the ‘unofficial cultural ambassador’ to the South. He owned the Hoka Theater in Oxford, MS, a movie theater/music venue/cafe that was a mecca for artists, college students and local patrons. Ron was the muse and the Hoka helped to foster artists' careers and shape peoples lives. In a place known for its past, RONZO (the movie) tells the story of a man who dreamed forward—creating a sanctuary where artists could be fearless, weird was welcome, and imagination had no curfew. Director Jon Brick is an award-winning filmmaker with over 25 years experience directing, producing and editing films for multiple platforms that include streaming networks (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and TUBI), documentary, broadcast TV, branded content and nonprofit.
