Nick Zammuto
Nick Zammuto grew up near Boston, MA and studied chemistry and the visual arts at Williams College, where he graduated in 1999. Since then he worked in the field of art conservation doing material analysis on works of art, he's lived, and worked in New York City and Los Angeles, hiked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, and worked as an inn keeper in North Carolina before returning to North Adams, MA to focus on his art and music. He co-founded the band 'the Books' in 2000 which has toured venues across North America and Europe and released three records and a DVD. Most recently he has edited and written the musical score for a feature documentary about the 'Biosphere 2' project located near Tuscon, Arizona. In parallel with his work in music and film, he has kept up a body of 'sound sculpture', of which 'laser show' (currently at the Williams College Museum of Art) is the most recent work.
Minerva Stage
Founded in 2003, the Student Independent Film Festival strives to provide an outlet for high school and college-age students to showcase their original creations through the gathering, promotion, and exhibition of films by youth worldwide, as well as through local workshops in which youth may create films.
Kathleen O'Mara founded Minerva Stage in 1996, to introduce children and young adults to the plays of Shakespeare. Since then, Minerva Stage has worked with thousands of students in a myriad of artistic, expressive, and academic projects. Minerva Stage summer programs also include a Shakespeare Workshop and a Film Making Workshop.
Images Cinema
The only one of its kind in Berkshire County, Images Cinema is a year-round non-profit, member-supported community film house that presents a wide range of films that impact filmmaking and our culture. Images continuously seeks to entertain, educate and engage the community with quality programming, while maintaining its dedication to independent film and media.
