The centerpiece and parallel story concerns the murder of Ruth's abusive husband, Frank, and the accusations that follow. Saturday, August 31st at 3:00pm "Behind the Glamour: Film Production" While most of us associate actors with television and film, there’s a lot of technical work to get them onto our screens.

During their run, they attract the attention of Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Smokey), who pursues them on their journey. Saturday, November 9th at 1:00pm Ant-Man and the Wasp Film Screening Two years after Scott Lang was placed under house arrest due to his involvement with the Avengers, in violation of the Sokovia Accords, [N 1] Hank Pym and his daughter Hope van Dyne briefly manage to open a tunnel to the quantum realm. They believe Pym's wife Janet van Dyne might be trapped there after shrinking to sub- atomic levels in 1987. When he had previously visited the quantum realm, Lang had unknowingly become quantumly entangled with Janet, and now he receives an apparent message from her. Saturday, November 16th at 3:00pm "Creating the Illusion: Location Scouting and Set Design” For a variety reasons, it's not always convenient for films and television shows to be produced where the stories actually take place.
