SUMMARY:Screening -- THE PAPER BAG PLAN w/Q&A (Bay Area)
DESCRIPTION:Note from Mike Conte: This film is absolutely wonderful! Honestly it made me cry. \nVES Bay Area members and their guests are invited to a screening of film festival favorite The Paper Bag Plan followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker\, ILM alumnus Anthony Lucero. \nThe film has about 120 invisible VFX shots\, of which Pixomondo did the majority of the work pro bono. \nYou can pick from these two screenings. Each is followed by a Q&A: \nSaturday 9/13/25\, 6:45pm\, Grand Lake Theater in Oakland\nThursday 9/18/25\, 7:00pm. Smith Rafael Theater in San Rafael \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to Mike Conte at 415-316-3100. \nAbout The Paper Bag Plan\nOscar has dedicated his life to the well-being of his disabled son\, Billy. But after a cancer diagnosis\, Oscar comes face-to-face with the thought of\, “Who will care for my son once I die?”  Scrambling to find some kind of job placement for Billy\, Oscar notices a Help Wanted sign at a nearby grocery store. With their remaining precious time together\, he intrepidly works to teach his son the skills needed to work as a bagger\, in the hopes of Billy beginning a life of independence. \nDetails\nSaturday\, September 13\, 2025\n6:45pm screening\nGrand Lake Theater\n3200 Grand Ave\, Oakland\, CA 94610 \nThursday\, September 18\, 2025\n7:00pm screening\nSmith Rafael Film Center\n1118 4th St\, San Rafael\, CA 94901 \nTo RSVP\, click here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJgv–a5iNf9C84Dh0GTeOU36n88KvYDPKLeD5b6eyMMW56w/viewform?usp=dialog
