It debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019. That year, it took honors as Best Documentary Feature at L.A. Outfest and was nominated for Documentary Feature in the American Film Festival. The film won the Audience Award at the 2020 Palm Springs International Film Festival.

At the core of his efforts was a determination to serve as a guiding force in maximizing the benefits the museum could bring to the community and to its visitors.
