Join us next Tuesday (10/20) at for a free screening of The Harvest Broadcast, followed by a live talkback with the filmmaker, Nathan Light.

This one-hour film investigates a mysterious 1971 broadcast on Hutchinson's local access TV channel. What starts as a gentle nature program turns strange and unsettling, leaving its small audience convinced that something uncanny is afoot. For more info on the movie, read the review in The SHOUT.

After the screening, stick around for a conversation with Nathan Light about the filmmaking process, the found-footage horror genre, and Kansas's indie film scene.
