Art Night Out: Ish Meets a Mermaid
August 27 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Free – $100.00
Meet the minds behind the mermaid at this Art Night Out celebrating not only the short film itself, but also the full breadth of artistry required in the production of a project like Ish Meets a Mermaid.
Hear from director, co-writer, and co-star Jonathan Thunder and producer Vera Bianchini about the building blocks of a short film—from props, to costumes, to lighting, to scheduling and beyond—with a panel discussion-style artist talk. Enjoy free snacks, drinks, and a live performance by artist Alex Kmett as you explore the galleries and see film-making from a new angle.
