Taylor Greeson's 'Meadowlark' sings

What happens when an admitted non-confrontational filmmaker confronts the many monsters from his past--including the man who murdered his brother as well as the adult predator who took his 12-year-old virginity?

The result is "Meadowlark," an explosive film-school project turned tour-de-force documentary by Taylor Greeson.

The beautifully shot full-length feature is making its world premiere at the Independent Film Festival Boston (IFF Boston) 10 p.m. Thursday, April 24 and 8 p.m. Saturday, April 26.

UPDATE: The filmmaker e-mailed me a thoughtful note after the screening.

"I just wanted to quickly email you to say thank you for the article you wrote about Meadowlark for the EDGE," he writes. "I thought it was a wonderful piece and it brightened my day to read it. The screenings went very well and the Q&A sessions were full of interesting questions. I had a really wonderful time in Boston."

Thanks Taylor!
