Film Screening: Sweet Dreams Do Come True followed by a Live performance by Verlon Thompson. Film Director: Brent Simonds will be in attendance for a Q&A. If you purchase a Rome International Film Festival Patron Pass for the 2021 Festival, this event is also included. Perhaps no other songwriter has committed his life’s story to song as fully as Nashville veteran Verlon Thompson. "Sweet Dreams Do Come True" is a music performance film and a biographical documentary, but ultimately a memoir that celebrates a life well-lived. Along the way we meet his family, friends, and musical peers including Guy Clark, Sam Bush, Shawn Camp, Wayland Holyfield, Billy Dean, Suzy Bogguss, Doug Crider, and Jon Randall. Finally, we are introduced to the love of his life - Mike & Betty's daughter. All proceeds benefit the Rome International Film Festival.
