Mail.Man

Mail.man (23 mins) USA Director: Bill Aydelott   Free Screening at Crescent town community 1pm Oct 14th

With letters something of an endangered species in this new digital age, "Mail.Man" dramatically illustrates their continued importance in a moving but light-hearted fashion, with modern technology still playing an important role. Inspired by a character-driven nod to Frank Capra, the story unfolds through the endearing experience of a veteran mail carrier, with a twist that could make text-obsessed viewers rediscover the power and beauty of a well written letter or email.

  • Read more about Lucy

Lucy, a frightened and conflicted pregnant teenager has a monumental decision to make while simultaneously struggling to maintain her relationship with her religious father. The recent overturning of the constitutional protection for abortion in the U.S. which has galvanized attention on this subject around the world highlights the timeliness of this short film. Moreover, the real-life shockwaves caused by this polarizing ruling make films like “Lucy”, that grapple with these questions of abortion, privacy, bodily autonomy and others more crucial than ever.
