 Cancer. It's a very scary word. But an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. U-Pikes Film and Media Arts program will be holding their ninth annual Film and Media Arts Festival on April 28th and 29th. The event is designed to showcase a wide variety of both short and feature-length films that are class things are particularly well made. We accept submissions from around the world, but we have a particular mission to highlight films with a local or regional connection. And what's really cool about our event is that the bulk of the film screening, especially on Saturday, are going to have representation. There will be someone that was in the film or that helped make the film there to answer questions about it when the screenings over. The Film and Media Arts Festival takes in feature-length and short films from all over the world with an emphasis on stories and filmmakers from the area. Students comb through the films and handpick the best ones to screen at the event. Many students even have their own film screening at the festival. If you make a film one of your big goals is to see it like on a big screen, like with a group of people. So, you know, U-Pikes Warfest and last year's FMA Fest was such a good time that, like, you know, I'm always excited to see my film up on the big screen. U-Pikes Film and Media Arts Festival will take place from April 28th until April 29th at the Pike County Library on Lee Avenue.
