This month, we’re turning back the clock to celebrate our One Year Anniversary! Join us as we screen three of our favorite shorts from the past year of Locals Only screenings: Geena Pietromonacos’ hilarious sex comedy Impenetrable, Mikiech Nichols’ Lynchian odyssey Moron, and Britt Harris & Molly Muses’ winding road drama Wrap Me in a Sheet. Each short will be introduced by a member of our Programming team. It will be a night full of joy, friendship, and cinema and we’d love to have you there to celebrate with us!
