The SMC Film Program is what it is in great measure due to the support of incredibly talented, committed, and selfless filmmakers, friends, and mentors who have supported us in the making of 30 award-winning short films so far. Standouts among them are Ben Woolverton and Anne Herlihy, to whom we owe the production-design artistry and mentorship of most of our short films.
In this spirit of eternal gratitude, we are thrilled to share the great news of last night’s incredibly successful world premiere of Ben and Anne’s documentary “I PAINT MONSTERS” at the prestigious Dances with Films film festival!
