Our first film event, like the best of experiements, suceeded in moving us and teaching us.
Even a one-night event in a mid-sized Midwestern city can pull off a Q&A time with a director. All it takes is a good ol' speaker phone and PA system.
One of our favorite things about really great films is the conversation afterwards. Listen in on one.
Filmmaker Doug Block reminds us we all have stories to tell, and that telling our stories brings people together.
We really like the film 51 Birch Street, but there's also a bigger goal behind tonight's community film-watching event.
Certain films require fellow viewers and follow up conversation. Hence, our first Spout film event.
