Film Screening of Fierce Light with Director Velcrow Ripper

By Films For Action / filmsforaction.org

Environs, Films For Action and the Learning for Life Center in Topeka are all collaborating to bring you a film screening of Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action. We'll be very lucky to have the director of the film, Velcrow Ripper, in person to discuss afterwards. Ripper also made Scared Sacred and is currently working on his newest film, Occupy Love.

Watch the trailer.

The event is free, with a suggested donation of $5-$10, proceeds to help fund Velcrow's next amazing film, check out a preview here.

Our screenings are organized by and for the community, so our success is best when we can all chip in a little to help spread the word. Thanks! See you all on Saturday here in a couple weeks.
