The director next door

Independent filmmaker Laura Colella likes to take her time—it took her eight years to create 2012's award-winning film Breakfast with Curtis, which was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Chalk it up to hard work and perfectionism: Colella is a Harvard graduate and a Sundance institute Fellow. Oh, and she also writes, edits and directs all her own films. The talented Colella is coming to the UT Campus and bringing Breakfast With Curtis along for the ride. The film tells the story of two neighbors: one a bohemian bookseller, and the other an impressionable 14-year-old boy. Colella will also present a workshop for UT students during her visit.

Friday, September 13. 7:30pm. Free. UT Center for Performing Arts, 1910 W. Rocket Dr. 419-530-2202. utoledo.edu/cvpa/theatrefilm
