Duluth Art Institute

Meet the minds behind the mermaid at this Art Night Out celebrating not only the short film itself, but also the full breadth of artistry required in the production of a project like Ish Meets a Mermaid. Hear from director, co-writer, and co-star Jonathan Thunder and producer Vera Bianchini about the building blocks of a short film — from props, to costumes, to lighting, to scheduling and beyond — with a panel discussion-style artist talk. Enjoy free snacks, drinks, and a live performance by artist Alex Kmett as you explore the galleries and see film-making from a new angle. Pay what you can, suggested $0-$50. Funding for this program provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
