FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND THE WOMEN WHO FOSTERED AN AMERICAN HERO

Change in Schedule!

We're happy to announce that "Frederick Douglass" will be showing
ahead of PHOEBE IN WONDERLAND (starring Bill Pullman) instead of with
the children's shorts program as originally planned. This is sure to
be a great event, with Bill Pullman in attendance. Get your tickets
ASAP!

"Frederick Douglass" is a biographical animated short, produced at
Animatus' Animation Workshop by Rochester teens from Community Place.

Friday May 2nd - 7:15 PM at the Dryden Theatre

SMOKING LAWS
with preceding animated short KEEP ON WALKIN'

Smoking Laws explores a night in the life of a smoke-free bar during
the coldest night of year. It offers a voyeuristic look at the random
strangers brought together by addiction. It's smoking good fun!
Directed by friend of Animatus, Matthew Ehlers, with a role by Fred
Armstrong as a cantankerous panhandler (what a stretch). Adult Themes.

Keep on Walkin' is a music video produced by Phil Geiger of rock group
SpiritEast, design, animation and production by Animatus Studio.
