So excited to see the premier of " Winter is Alive" this Thursday at 9:30pm on the Garver patio following the Silver Lining Awards. What an experience it will be seeing footage taken at sub zero temps while it will be the warmest day of the year so far ( 90)
@adgranat and @graciewallner we're such a pleasure to work with, they were with us artists during sub zero installations and recorded in depth interviews. I can't wait to see how it all intertwines together!
On another note: I'm very humbled that the @madisonbubbler
Nominated me for a silver lining award for my role as volunteer shop manager at @communicationmadison
I'll be at the awards to support all the nominees and winners. 🥂🎉
Reposted from @tonemsn 🎞 Grant Phipps previews a new short documentary, "Winter Is Alive," on 2021's citywide cooler world carnival, set to premiere after the Silver Lining Awards at Garver Feed Mill this Thursday, May 12, at 9:30 p.m. The film will be projected on the wall of the venue's outside patio.
Co-directors Aaron Granat and Gracie Wallner spoke with Phipps about making the doc, their working relationship, and more. ❄️

"Although 'Winter Is Alive' is a commissioned and ultimately edifying work, both Granat and Wallner were a bit humbled and inspired by the project’s unraveling interconnectivity, poetically pondering moments of creative breakthrough as well as trauma. Wallner says, 'The project is artists and activists and scientists all coming together to make change. It’s easy to be pessimistic about it on a broad scale. But when you think of it as reaching out and helping someone in the moment, [when] everyone is doing that, that’s where we can make the change'."
