For more information on Project HOME and how to help the homeless in the area, visit their website.

TUTV presents a screening of faculty film “Everything Went Down”

EverythingWentDownPromo

TUTV is excited to host the screening of Everything Went Down, a feature film by former Temple professor Dustin Morrow. The film will be shown in Annenberg Hall’s TV Studio 1 at 7 p.m., Thursday, September 19, followed by a Q&A with Morrow.

Everything Went Down is described as a “realist musical in the style of the beloved Irish film Once”–a very contemporary mix of drama, comedy and music.

It tells the story of a young college professor (Noah Drew) who is still in mourning since the death of his wife two years earlier when he meets a young singer-songwriter (Kate Tucker), herself lost in a struggle to maintain faith in her music while trying to make a name for herself. The film chronicles their budding friendship as the energy and beauty of her music begins to bring him back to life, and the value of her music to this man reawakens her to its merits.

Learn more about the film at its website, www.everythingwentdown.com, or by watching the trailer.
