The Price of Fear: A Conversation About What Scares Us & What Heals Us

 

Scientists tell us that the average human being spends almost seven years of their life worrying about something. Scientists also tell us that 85% of what we worry about never transpires. This means we waste almost a tenth of our lifespans anxious or afraid about something that never happens!

Secret Screening

Schedule block

What does it all mean, Elwood? If we told you, we'd have to utilize complex Riemannian equations to open a portal in space-time and send a horrible human-faced rat through the 4th dimension into your abdomen to eat you from the inside! Also, it wouldn't be much of a secret. This infamous screening includes classic and hilarious content too crazy to miss. Includes old standbyes (wink), plus new content every year. It's an end of the festival tradition!
