‘There are a lot of people who need to hear this story.’
The Hoboken International Film Festival premiered “After the Fire,” a documentary on the Seton Hall University fire and the friendship that grew between two young men in the burn unit at Saint Barnabas Medical Center as they fought arduously to heal. About 150 attended the premiere on Wednesday night, including the victims and families of the students who died: Aaron Karol, John Giunta and Frank Caltabilota. “It was a good movie,” said Gina Caltabilota, Frank’s sister. “But I lived through all of it, so it brought up a lot of emotions.” Shawn Simons, whose recovery from devastating burns was a focal point of the film, saw the film for the first time. “I am just in awe right now,” he said afterward. “It sparked a lot of memories, but I feel…
