Writers Go to the Movies is ridiculously excited to announce our next event: Erin Sharkey and Mychal Fisher will present "Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project" at The Hive Collaborative on April 12th. Doors at 6:00, show at 7:00. Free admission, snacks and drinks!

More details below.
How it works:

1. A writer is invited to choose a movie--something that has informed, inspired, irritated, oppressed, shaken, or moved their writing practice.

2. The writer chooses an "outsider artist" (someone engaged with the film's themes or subject matter - a dancer/ scientist/ lawyer/ painter/ film scholar/ mechanic/ gardener, etc.) to be their conversation partner.

3. The writer introduces the movie to us and tells us why they've chosen it.

4. We watch it (drink, eat candy and popcorn).

5. The writer and "outsider artist" have a conversation about art making and life, cross disciplinary ideas and any of the other smart, funny, wise and weird things they're currently thinking about.

6. The audience asks questions, they make comments, also say smart, wise and funny things.

7. We go home and dream of a world made better through expanding community.
