That’s so good to hear, and it’s hinted at a little bit in the movie, which is why I was curious about it. I thought a movie exploring the good relationship and how it was formed and maintained would be interesting.

Craig- completely true. I worked at the convenience store in town when I was a student at CCS and had an opportunity to immerse myself in the community of White River as a whole. It was one that really embraced the school. CCS has had a profound and ongoing impact on helping to revive both the arts community and the economy of the town.

Johanna, I wanted to add to your comment that there should be a follow-up “examining how the town population views the school and its creators in its midst.” I went to White River Junction last September for the ICAF conference, and when I ventured off-campus and into the community, I heard nothing but positive words for the energy and life CCS has brought to WRJ. My sense (limited though it is) is that there’s a terrific synergy between the locals and CCS.

I will. I found out that the plan is to play a few more festivals — and you can find out which ones by signing up for their mailing list on their website — and then make the movie available on Netflix, iTunes, DVD, etc.

Looks like a good film, especially for those who want to break into the indie comic scene. Please inform us if the film becomes available to the public.
