Synopsis
Filmmaker Stewart Copeland explores his feelings about his mother by focusing on a key moment in her life — when she led her eighth grade students in their project contacting astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The project was successful, and the students’ conversation with the astronauts was recorded. It survives as documentation of Copeland’s mother and the moment is now remembered as a great one in her life. In rediscovering this personal footnote in history, Copeland expresses his love and admiration for his late mother.
Jennifer will be broadcast with Bronx Princess.

Wonderful
A wonderful film. Its so small it doesn't seem that complex, but it really is, considering the ways it works in and accesses different kinds of media formats, as well as creating a deep dialectic between the audio and visual components. This is a real find.

Amazing
I was amazed by this short film. Copeland was able to capture the significance of the experience for both students and his mother. I was so moved by the story, the simplicity of it, and the feelings of nostalgia and wonder that it stirred within me as a viewer.
