The Huron County Museum has become a hub of excitement and inspiration for film and television enthusiasts, thanks to its innovative initiative of inviting professionals from the industry, especially those with roots in Huron County, to share their experiences and insights.
The Museum has been screening films and having engaging discussions with professionals about their work and careers about celebrating the diverse talents we have right here in our community and shedding light on the lesser-known but crucial roles in filmmaking, according to Sinead Cox, Curator of Engagement and Community Dialogue at the museum.
Sinead emphasizes the importance of recognizing all contributors to the filmmaking process. The museum’s approach to exhibits mirrors storytelling, showcasing Huron County’s rich history of great storytellers.
The success of the film series has been evident with multilingual movie nights drawing significant interest and engagement as residents are eager to learn about the intricacies of the filmmaking process and interact directly with artists.
The series kicked off with a spotlight on local talent that worked on the post-production of “Blackberry,” followed by a screening of the blockbuster “War for the Planet of the Apes.” The upcoming highlight is the conversation with Tim Long, known for his work as a writer and producer on “The Simpsons” and his film “The Exchange,” set in a small Canadian town.
That screening is coming up on Saturday April 27 at 1:00 PM – admission is free with a Huron County Library Card.
