On October 26th, our friends at the Austin Bat Cave (ABC) welcomed more than 100 Austin and Houston students from three schools for an intensive workshop on screenwriting! Students worked on their own short scenes which they were then invited to submit for publication in ABC’s annual anthology of student writing. The host for the day was the Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex in East Austin.
TO BE DESTROYED | WORLD PREMIERe!
To Be Destroyed is a documentary that follows author Dave Eggers as he meets with students and teachers in the Rapid City, SD school district where his novel The Circle was pulled from shelves along with works by Alison Bechdel, Stephen Chbosky, Bernardine Evaristo and Imbolo Mbue. Through footage of heated school board meetings, community rallies and interviews with locals, we learn how these books were designated “to be destroyed."
This film will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Learn more and buy tickets here!
