Screenings and Discussions with our ViH Friends
Here’s a message from our friends at Vandy-In-Hollywood about their upcoming events!
Hey, everyone —
First of all wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone who turned out for last week’s inaugural event of the Vandy-in-Hollywood Virtual Screening & Speaker Series —writer/director Sam Friedlander’s “Babysplitters!” We had a great conversation not only with Sam, but with several of the Vandy folks who helped make the movie!
Secondly — we’re very excited to announce our next to events:
• A screening of “Windows On the World,” followed by a discussion with screenwriter/producer Robert Anderson and composer David Russo. The discussion will be moderated by Rich Hull, founder of Pongalo, the Latin-focused streaming service distributing the film.
• A screening of “The Witch” (one of my all-time favorite horror movies), followed by a discussion with “The Witch” producer and VU alum Ethan Lazar!
Here’s information about each event:
• OCT. 25 — “WINDOWS ON THE WORLD” — SCREENING & LIVE DISCUSSION

In 1630 New England, panic and despair envelops a farmer, his wife and their children when their youngest son suddenly vanishes.
