The documentary film, Leave Them Laughing, is about Carla Zilbersmith who taught drama at the College of Marin for many years before she was stricken with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS disease, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It was directed by Academy award-winner John Zaritsky who was inspired to make the movie after reading a blog that Zilbersmith wrote during her battle with the disease.

Scenes filmed at our house include releasing red balloons from the deck.
