Los Angeles, CA, October 22, 2024 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Winters Rock is thrilled to announce the Los Angeles premiere of its award-winning film Gangsta Gardener, featuring Ron Finley, at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, California. The film will screen in collaboration with the Breath(e) exhibit which is part of Getty’s region-wide initiative PST ART: Art and Science Collide.
Breath(e): Toward Climate and Social Justice, is organized by guest co-curators Glenn Kaino and Mika Yoshitake. The exhibition considers environmental art practices that address the climate crisis and anthropogenic disasters and their inescapable intersection with issues of equity and social justice. Breath(e) features works by more than 20 artists, including works by Mel Chin, Ron Finley, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Garnett Puett, and Lan Tuazon, commissioned specially for this exhibition.
“Gangsta Gardener” offers a powerful narrative through a single interview with Ron Finley, paired with mesmerizing cinematography from his South Los Angeles garden. Ron Finley, a legend in the world of gardening (his gardening Masterclass is one of the most popular on the site), shares his profound journey and relentless pursuit to create a better world by empowering others to challenge societal norms. His garden, located in South Los Angeles, serves as a living testament to his mission of sustainable neighborhood gardening.
“We reached out to Ron Finley because we believe in his mission, and wanted to create a piece that addressed food deserts in our area,” said Miranda Winters, co-director of the film. “Ron Finley’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and the unwavering belief in the power of change. We hope this film inspires audiences to embrace their own ability to defy the status quo and create meaningful impact in their own lives and communities.”
“We hope that the film will spark discussions about the importance of revolutionary thinking and community in the face of an isolating culture that is built around commerce,” added Rocky Romano, co-director of the film. “Our goal is that these discussions inspire positive actions – whether they are on a personal, local, or global level.”
The film’s unique visuals, coupled with Finley’s compelling narrative, provides an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Directed by the award winning creative team of Miranda Winters & Rocky Romano, Gangsta Gardener is set to screen on October 27, 2024 at 2:00pm in the prestigious Billy Wilder Theater during the Breath(e) conversations series that will feature a talk with Ron Finley & co-curator of the exhibit Glenn Kaino.

David J. Conley’s New Book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion,” Offers Readers a Fascinating New Look Into the Unanswered Question Surrounding Jfk’s Assisination
Panorama City, CA, August 29, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author David J. Conley has completed his most recent book, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion”: a poignant and thought-provoking read that presents the author’s own theories and opinions on what truly happened when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, shedding a new light on the events of the infamous moment.
“In this book, there’s a little bit about me to show you that I know what I’m talking about and why I am writing this book,” writes Conley. “Next is about Joseph Kennedy, the father of John Kennedy. To know about John, you have to know about the past—that is, John F. Kennedy himself, before the assassination. Then came the day—the assassination. Now the good part is the story and the evidence. Next was who knew, followed by who was involved—the cover-up.
“Why am I writing this book? It has been many years, and people are still asking questions with no answers. Everybody with their opinions, who are supposedly experts in their fields, is not looking at the big picture. People want to know what really happened. After reading this, your opinion will probably be the same as mine.”
Published by Fulton Books, David J. Conley’s book will transport readers as they witness JFK’s assassination in a new way, offering a different perspective that will open their eyes. Expertly paced and enlightening, “Kennedy Assassination in My Opinion” is sure to leave a lasting impression long after the final page.
