San Francisco Flower Market.qt

In 1977 some students from San Francisco City College created a documentary on our San Francisco Flower Mart. This is an edited version of that film. Take a quick trip back to the 70's to the San Francisco Flower Mart, and witness our history, and our heritage. Since 1977 many things have changed but many have stayed the same, the Mart continues to play such an important role in the Bay Area floral industry.

What a great surprise to see our film on TH-cam. Greg Bezat and I had a great and meaningful time making this film and meeting all the wonderful men and women of the flower market. The grower's associations made this film possible by contributing funding to our labor of love - not to mention allowing us to film them at the market and at their nurseries and farms. Unfortunately, 2 significant sequences have somehow been deleted, by whom I do not know. One is the history section that talks about the years during WWII. Second, interviews and footage of grower activities at the nurseries and on the farms is missing. Last note - while I spent a semester at City College - Greg Bezat and I were students at SF State at the time this film was made. David Darby / NYC. PS - the following year I married one of the production assistants!

+David Darby Wow! That is so awesome to hear from you! We love your movie at the market. I don't know if I've ever seen the piece about the war. I would love to see the whole film sometime. You can reach me at [e-mail]. Thank you for reaching out to us.
