NW Film Forum is screening Homeschooled on Friday, February 9th at 8pm, (along with some other fun stuff happening beforehand for everyone, like a free drop-in silkscreening workshop (with María Zamora from Pratt) from 5:30-6:30pm (dress accordingly!) and a ticketed screening of the It’s a Mess, Guess? film shorts program at 6:30pm (ages 13+)).

Things our NWFF coordinator would like us to know: 

*  the film is for an older kid/teen audience (recommend ages 10+). It is very heartwarming, but does have some content appropriate for older kids, such as swearing and some discussion of suicide.

* it's the world premiere of the film which means you will see it before anyone else in the world! 

* director Niki Koss and producer Ryan DeLaney will be in attendance for a short Q&A after the show!  (How fun!) 

More things to know:

* NWFF is still requiring masks over nose and mouth.

* Parking can be, uh… problematic! Arrive another way or leave time for parking! 

If you cannot come in-person, don’t worry! You can still participate (and support the effort) by viewing Homeschooled from home!  More details here: https://nwfilmforum.org/films/cffs-2024-homeschooled-ages-10-hybrid/.
