Next week, rural Appalachia native filmmaker, Brent Green, will display on campus his animated films of the “folk-gothic” genre stylistically similar to director Tim Burton.

Cougars, do the words “folk-gothic” make you shiver? Don’t be nervous! Come and check out Nervous Films at 6 p.m. Oct. 3 in Arts 111.

This event is geared towards any audience member who enjoys the whimsical and the mysterious. Nervous Films’ creator Brent Green blends filmmaking, animation and visual arts to create on-screen fantasy worlds depicted by live narration and musical accompaniment. Nervous Films has screened at several venues including Sundance Film Festival, The Wexner Center for the Arts, The Walker Arts Center and the Hammer Museum.

Tickets are necessary for admission and can be reserved online at http://www.csusm.edu/al/calendar.html#nervous. Admission is free to all students with a CSUSM ID, $7.50 for all faculty and staff members and $15 for general community member admission.
