The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Art and the Friends of the Visual Arts will present a free, one-night screening of “Mile… Mile & A Half” at 7 p.m. Friday, April 17, in The Cole Art Center @ The Old Opera House in downtown Nacogdoches.
A documentary film by The Muir Project, “Mile… Mile & A Half” is the story of five friends who leave their daily lives behind to hike California’s historic John Muir Trail, a 211-mile stretch from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous U.S.). Their goal, according to information at themuirproject.com, is to complete the journey in 25 days while capturing the sights and sounds they encounter along the way.
The documentary is directed by Jason Fitzpatrick and Ric Serena. It is 87 minutes in length.
This screening is part of the School of Art’s monthly Friday Night Film Series and is sponsored in part by the Nacogdoches Junior Forum, The Liberty Bell, Main Street Nacogdoches, Bill Arscott, Jill Carrington, Karon Gillespie, John Heath, David Kulhavy and Brad Maule.
