The city of Homer is very privileged in that we have rather worldly, experienced and informed citizens. It seems that on most any given day, one can participate in a vast array of opportunities, including watching a play, visiting an art gallery, listening to a lecture, or participating in athletic activities &mdash; among other things. A profound sense of culture hangs over our little town. When the documentary film festival started in 2004, it introduced a new cultural opportunity to our community. 
Jamie and Lynnette Sutton bought the Homer Theatre in 2004 and immediately started the annual documentary film festival. It quickly became a Homer tradition.
