Meet North Carolina filmmaker Chris Knight, a.k.a. “The Dude Who Took Down Viacom”. In 2006, Knight made a campaign advertisement to help promote his running for a seat on Rockingham County ’s Board of Education. Knight did not win a seat on the board, but he did win some internet and media fame from his commercial.

Join Sallie Hendrick of the NC Film Office, NC State University film department head Devin Orgeron and fellow film professor Marsha Orgeron, and David Fellerath, Arts Editor for the Independent Weekly, for a lively discussion on how to keep North Carolina an attractive state for film production.

Three “short” film series: ‘Freaks, Geeks, and Weirdos’ (Interpretation of what this means is left to you), ‘Animate!’ (Innovative animation shorts), and ‘Make Me Laugh. I Dare You’ (Comedic shorts).
