The free, public screening will feature the Penn State student films “Earning a Living,” a dark comedy written and directed by Jackson Bonds; and “Muse,” a psychological drama written and directed by Rachel Traub.
Following each film screening, audiences are invited to remain for a 15-minute Q&A with the student filmmakers and production teams.
