Director Todd Scoggins made a documentary about Red Bird Mission, located deep within the forests of eastern Kentucky. The mountain people refer to it simply and affectionately as “Red Bird.” This mission has been in operation for nearly one hundred years. The scattered populations and cultural uniqueness make it difficult for service organizations to operate in this rugged, unforgiving land. But Red Bird has worked exclusively in this area since the 1920’s.

This documentary follows very personal stories of hope. The filmmaker was granted unprecedented access into the private, symbiotic relationship between Red Bird and the mountain people it serves. The result is a story of amazing faith and humbling compassion set in a backdrop of awe-inspiring beauty.

Children ages 8 through 13 have the opportunity to learn professional animation techniques from award winning filmmaker and Art Institute of Chicago professor Chris Sullivan.

"In this animation workshop, young animators will get to see their own creations come to life. I love to share with young people that animation is magical, but it is not magic. They can do it, and they will get a chance to be surprised by seeing their drawings and stop action work moving in time." Sullivan remarked.

The workshop will start at 10:00 a.m. with the showing of a series of independent animations Sullivan selected for inspiration and will be followed by a four-hour collaborative effort by the students to create a themed film. The viewing of the independent animations is open to the public from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Sullivan will be assisted by Monteith McCollum and Ariana Gerstein from the Binghamton University Cinema Department along with some of their advanced cinema students, who will also be filming a documentary of the children at work.

The documentary and the children's animated film will be shown at 7:00 p.m. to the children, their parents and any guests they wish to invite, and all students will receive a CD of the documentary and their animated film.
