In November 1966, Mr. Owens completed his first film Autre fois j'ai aimé une femme ("Once I Loved a Woman"), which in its short existence, has had special screenings both at the school of the Institute and Morton Hall, the Second City Film Center, and the Filmmakers' Cinematheque of New York. Upon viewing Autre fois, Gregory J. Markopoulos wrote "[Edward Owens] may well be one of the few for whom 'amateur' and 'professional' need have no significance whatsoever: true to his own native talents, with grim determination uncanny, whether the mind in the arts is for or against beauty or its opposite twin, chaos." —John F. Steward-Butkovich, Brotman & Sherman Theatres
