Sunday, July 12, 2 pm
Following her son Kevin’s epilepsy-related death in 2001, Patricia Barnes thought her life was over. Then one day, she awoke with the urge to create a series of stained glass pyramids never having made one before. Thirteen years and 20 pyramids later, Trish has decided to complete the final piece and move forward from her loss. A story of healing through creation, Last Pyramid chronicles Trish’s journey from tragedy to triumph as she finishes her final tribute to the life of her child. The film’s crew includes Samantha Macher (writer/producer), one of our M.F.A. playwrights who has returned this summer to teach, and Dave Schachter (director/producer) joins us as a guest artist and will be directing in Overnight Sensations. Both will take part in a talk back after the screening of this film, which won Film of the Year at the NoVa Film Festival this year. Sponsored by the Summer 2015 Playwright’s Lab at Hollins. |
