This event will include some brief opening remarks by Jane Riley and Lori Brown of the Athens County LOSS Team
The Frame of Mind Series seeks to showcase stories that serve as bridges to real conversations, fostering a space for empathy and connection, a space where we, as a community, can lean into vulnerability and face difficult conversations together.
So for the month of May, we invite you to embrace empathy, get together, and step into a new Frame of Mind!
About the film
Blending archival footage and interviews with friends, family, and colleagues, Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain seeks to tell the story about one of America’s biggest pop cultural icons. From his humble beginnings in the sweat-filled kitchens of New York, to his first forays into becoming a writer, to his massive success as the host of food/travel shows like No Reservations and Parts Unknown, and, finally, to his shocking death by suicide, this film attempts to both paint a fitting portrait of a one-of-a-kind workaholic and explain why he chose to end his life during the height of his success. Brimming with charisma, uncompromising and opinionated, fearless and infinitely curious: Everyone who knew Anthony Bourdain would surely say the same thing — there will never be another like him.

Directed by the “Ethan” half of the illustrious Coen Brothers, and co-written by Ethan and his wife Tricia Cooke, DRIVE AWAY DOLLS takes some cues from the playbook of 1970’s exploitation films and features a supporting cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Matt Damon, and Beanie Feldstein. Blending the dark thrills of FARGO with the buddy-system comedy of BROAD CITY, this hip, modern-day road movie will make you keep your hands on the wheel so you can navigate the many twists and turns that only the mind of a Coen Brother can create!
