DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS _ John Schneider -- actor/director/filmmaker/singer -- is walking through the lobby of the Cobb Theater here, in town to promote his traveling CineFlix Film Festival, dedicated to showcasing independent movies. We are meeting up with John to learn more about the festival, more about his passion for independent films and more about him.
