Outdoors," will run every weekend from May 15-September 20. We are thrilled to

Programming for the 2009 Summer Series includes feature-length films
and programs of shorts, all new, all independent. Most of the feature films are

comedy animation and more. We couple films with venues, and connect artists with
audiences so that each event is unique and memorable.
