Listen "Taking ACTION for BLM"
Episode Synopsis
In October 2020, Cadence commissioned 5 writers to create screenplays for their Sitelines BLM program. Three of them were selected to be produced by local cast and crews. They’ll be presented at a mini-film fest called ACTION at 1:00pm on Saturday, 10/14 at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Admission is free.
