You may not have a festival pass, or even movie tickets (they're hard to come by at this point) but that doesn't mean you can't participate in the True/False film festival.
Stephens is one of the festivals most prominent sponsors, which is why you'll see banners and signs and all kinds of T/F-ers all over campus this weekend.
Because we're so involved in the event, the festival includes some very special offerings just for our community. They include:
FRIDAY, Feb. 26th
Discussion with Natalie Difford from Chicken & Egg Productions, Penthouse
11:00AM-12:30PM
Chicken & Egg Pictures is a hybrid film fund and non-profit production company dedicated to supporting women filmmakers who are as passionate about the craft of storytelling as they are about the social justice, environmental and human rights issues they're embracing, translating and exploring on film.
