SUZY STUMP: CHILDREN’S FILM SERIES >>>
When I was a teen my dad and I made a stop-action film about a woman (me) who returns to the home where a terrifying entity haunted her childhood bedroom â€" older brother noogies! They still haunt me today.
I need better childhood memories. Maybe I can borrow a few during the Children’s Film Series at The Grand Cinema. The six educational (boo!) and entertaining (yeah!) films will screen at 11 a.m. Friday-Sunday beginning this Friday with The Secret Garden.
