Designed Venues/Areas:
Blue Note: Local artists Bob Hartzell and Mike Marcum, along with a crew of volunteers have created unique, handmade light boxes with a water-themed design. Mike Marcum has graced the festival with another of his amazing metal-sculpted trees, this time inspired by the stories of the Garden of Eden and Pandora's box.
Forrest Theater: Doug Freeman and Steph Foley of the Spare Parts Gallery transformed the Forrest Theater into an actual forest. Hand-painted birch trees and intricately designed shadow box set pieces generate the feeling of a mysterious grove inhabited by more than just filmgoers.
Windsor Auditorium: Husband and wife Mike Lising and Danielle Eldred created a mobile design featuring a retro-future zeppelin drifting between Mylar clouds to take the audience to a future that might have been.
The Den: While its sister venue, the Windsor, is a dream of the future, the Den has been lovingly refit into a rec room from days gone by.
Downtown to Stephens Route: Tyler Woodcock, Fergus Moore, Karen Truckee, Morgan Smith, and Monica Jost have put together interactive installations along the path from T/F's downtown venues to Stephens College to engage intrepid fest-goers from one end of the event to the other.
Lover's Leap: Monica Jost comes back to Columbia to put together our exuberant Friday night party, the Lover's Leap.
Reality Bites: Ashley Harrison has transformed the Lela Raney Wood Ballroom into a riot of color and style. Themed after a far East festival with giant mythological creatures by Bobette Rose and Gail Shen, the T/F film fest's centerpiece gala has never looked better.
Parade: Drawing on the community of Columbia and her own ingenuity, Meredith Fraser has assembled a spectacle composed of the past and present of Columbia and True/False to kick off this year's fest.
