Audio Q&A: “Short Term 12”

A special message from Wendy Cohen:

This week, we have not one, but TWO Q&As for the critically acclaimed low-budget feature SHORT TERM 12, featuring a cast of rising stars and up-and-coming director Destin Cretton. Our first discussion took place on August 5th at the University of Southern California Ray Stark Theatre between the director and several members of the cast. The second panel, held at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, sponsored by KCET’s Cinema Series, included a conversation with actors Brie Larson, Kaitlyn Dever, Keith Stanfield and the film’s producer, Asher Goldstein, which KCET recorded exclusively for their podcast, and you can find here as well as linked below.

The KCET Cinema Series continues its fall season this week on September 17th at 7pm with the new documentary INEQUALITY FOR ALL. Please consider buying passes for this series, hosted by nationally recognized film expert Pete Hammond. For reservations call 747.201.5800 or buy your season tickets online.
