Groundbreaking New Films!

You will recall that a few weeks back I posted two columns featuring an interview I conducted with local film-makers William Wallace and Bryan Miller. Their film will open this week at the Sojourn Community's Cultivate Beauty Film Festival. The main location for the festival will be the Kentucky Theater on 4th street in downtown Louisville. You locals should come! I'm posting a full schedule of festival events, including an event tonight at the great Sunergos Coffee house, and tomorrow at Pyro Gallery.
