Fly Low Jack and the Game (1927)
This technically ambitious short fiction film utilized actors from the Rochester Community Players, and was shot on locations across Rochester, including Britton Field, now the Rochester International Airport. Kodak screened it for customers at sales conventions, and it proved to be the perfect finale to Gleason’s film career-- A tale of a handsome aviator (and not a sportsman) returning home and finding love. The unofficial “Godmother of Amateur Filmmaking,” Gleason wrote "Scenario Writing and Producing for the Amateur" in 1929.
