Join us for a screening of the film SHANK, written, produced, and directed by filmmaker Jim Terry, with music by Peckinslaw. Described as “If Monty Python made John Wick with no money”, SHANK is a bonkers action comedy you can’t miss.
After the conclusion of the film, there will be a brief discussion featuring artists from the film, moderated by cast member Aaron Golding. The cast and creative team will reflect on the film’s themes and their experience bringing the piece to life.
Light snacks and drinks will be available for purchase, and all proceeds from this event will directly fund future Sweetest Season programming.
Jim Terry is a Ho-Chunk storyteller who’s called Chicago his home for the last ten thousand years or so. His graphic memoir “Come Home, Indio” was nominated for an Ignatz and was a finalist for the LA Times Bookprize. His comic-book essay “Paper Cuts”, done in residency at The Newberry Library, is currently being taught in several schools and he has worked as a comics illustrator for almost two decades with everyone from Marvel to Heavy Metal. This August his prose will be published in the anticipated “Never Whistle At Night 2: Back For Blood” and he just completed the feature length film “Shank”.
