LOCAL FILMMAKERS PAY TRIBUTE TO COLLEAGUE, RAISE FUNDS FOR FAMILY

The Birmingham filmmaking community will gather Thursday to pay
tribute to a fallen comrade, Michael Prichard. In addition, the group
is raising money to help Michael's family pay for expenses that continue to mount.

exclusively provided by members of the local filmmaking community.
Art and prints may be donated up until the day of the show. All
proceeds from the sale of these works will go to Michael's family.

The tribute and show kickoff begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at
Rojo, 2921 Highland Ave. S. Admission is free and open to the public.
The show will remain on display until November 9th, available during
