Jimmy & the Demons

June 8: Q&A with director Cindy Meehl & film participant Lesley "Guzzy" Grashow

Celebrated artist, James Grashow, is given the biggest commission of his life and begins an exhilarating challenge that brings more than he bargained for: a grand sculpture known as “The Cathedral”. With a combination of endearing humor and angst, Jimmy searches for meaning and answers in his extraordinary masterpiece. He finds it’s as much about how we sculpt a meaningful life as it is about art.

Ticket Pricing:
June 8 with Film Team Q&A: $20 (members), $25 (nonmembers)

"'The Cathedral' embodies everything that’s lovely about his work — its impishness, its openheartedness and its darkness, too — and Jimmy & the Demons captures all of that with a spirit that matches its subject."
Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
