Producers East of Doheny and The Actors Fund hosted a March 3 private screening of the new film about the making of the Broadway musical Grey Gardens.

Entitled "Grey Gardens: From East Hampton to Broadway," the 50-minute documentary is directed by Albert Maysles, who co-created the famed 1975 "Grey Gardens" documentary that inspired the Tony-winning musical.

According to press notes, Maysles' new work "brings the story full circle, as [he] once again goes behind the camera to interview both the cast and artistic team from the musical and to present never before seen footage from the original film."

The film was previously screened in October 2007 as part of the Hamptons International Film Festival on Long Island. A Los Angeles showing is scheduled for mid-April.
