Doc's Addition: Storm Lake
Join us for the first screening of Doc's Addition, a partnership between Studio Two Three and Fourth Line Films to bring nationally-acclaimed documentary film programming to the Richmond community.
What: Reserve your seat now for the Richmond-premier of STORM LAKE, followed by a facilitated discussion with NYC-based impact producer and independent filmmaker Neyda Martinez and panelists from Richmond's local press (to be announced).
About the film: Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Art Cullen and his family fight to unite and inform their Iowan farming community through their biweekly newspaper, The Storm Lake Times—come hell or pandemic.
Dark clouds hang over the cornfields of Storm Lake, Iowa, which has seen its fair share of change in the 40 years since Big Agriculture came to town. Farmers blow their life savings on new equipment they hope will keep their livelihoods intact. Migrant workers flock here—welcome and not—for their slice of the American Dream. The people of Storm Lake confront a changing and precarious existence. Enter: Art Cullen and his family members who deliver local news and editorials on a shoestring budget for their 3,000 readers. This paper means a fighting chance for their beloved hometown, and by hook or by crook, they’ll make the most of it. There’s simply too much at stake.
Where: The rear lot of Studio Two Three, 3300 W Clay Street, Richmond , VA
When: Thursday, September 23rd - 8:00 - 10:00pm
Cost: Tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $0-15.00 in order to remain accessible to all; reserve your spot using the button on this page. Please consider making a donation to Studio Two Three, or paying what you're able at the door to help with the cost of lodging, transportation and a stipend for participating filmmakers or panelists.
