TUESDAY, JULY 31
Featured Speaker:
Chad Freidrichs
Independent Filmmaker, and Director, The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An Urban History
Director Chad Freidrichs has worked for four years to complete The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An Urban History, his third feature film. The historical nature of this film allowed Chad to spend hours digging through archives and finding ways to transfer old 16mm films to experiences he hopes he can apply to future films. The film also gave Chad the opportunity to meet wonderful scholars and, of course, the kind and insightful former residents of the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex, without whom this film could not have been made. After so much time devoted to researching, writing, shooting, editing, and mixing, Chad is excited to share this film with audiences.
