    It was an honor to be part of PopUp Anthology. The quality of films was outstanding and the venue made it easy to not only meet with other filmmakers but to talk with them in a quiet and intimate environment.

    I had a great screening of my short film at PopUp Anthology earlier this month! The venue, Hopewell Theatre, was beautiful, and it was a great Q&A setup. We happened to have an all-female Q&A, which was pretty cool! They've also been great about posting about the events on social media. Thanks, Katherine!
