Final list of films to be screened on Thursday, April 25:
Millie & Me | Page Brien | 2018 | 4:15
This film is based on my own true story about my Grandmother. I wasn't sure how I wanted to share this story, so I decided to experiment using illustration, animation, original video, stock video, and FX. I was aiming for a soft, whimsical tone because the story could have been told as a tragedy, but I wanted it to have a hopeful feeling.
Epilogue | David Boffa | 2019 | 4:00

This short music film looks at the beautiful and destructive behavior of the world around us and suggests how mental illness can shape our perspective.
His Last Name | Kristen Johnson-Salazar | 2018 | 10:50
My father received new information about family connections and relationships while taking a DNA test and visiting his family in Texas. After I shot the majority of this documentary in Austin, I came to terms that my father will always be emotionally distant when discussing these topics. It will take more than creating this documentary to heal the generational trauma that has followed my family and myself.

Walked out onto frozen Lake Mendota, encountered an art installation in the middle of the lake.
