Birmingham native Sonya “Sam” Mitchell will share her knowledge and experience of making films in her presentation, The Documentary Filmmaking Process, at the Central Library. Two of Mitchell’s short films, Jesse “Speeks” and The Truth Up and Coming, are profiles of interesting friends and both have been screened in recent years at the local Sidewalk Film Festival. Her latest film, The State Wins, takes a look at Alabama’s favorite pastime—college football.

The lecture will be held in the Linn-Henley Research Library/Arrington Auditorium/4th floor.
