Join us for a thrilling night of local filmmaking as we premiere the short-film version of Children of the Cornfield, a twisted rural horror comedy by Oakwood native Crystal Lee Hughes. Shot entirely in Vermillion County with local talent, this debut short launches a full-length feature currently in development.
You’ll also experience an exclusive sneak peek of HELLthcare, Crystal’s bold docuseries revealing real-life horror stories from the U.S. healthcare system and the changemakers fighting for solutions.
