Artspace Friday night: Sci-fi films introduced by actor - filmmaker Phillip Brooks

What happens when you bring film types such as Phillip Brooks to an audience to talk about film classics? The audience gets acquainted with young blood and gets to look forward - to the coming projects of the speaker - as well as rearward, to see the enduring lessons of film stories.

Thus I recommend the Sci-fi series at Artspace Friday night at 7 pm. Brooks will bring you Forbidden Planet and Aliens.

Brooks demonstrated his fluency as an actor in a number of plays at Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. The recent MLP productions of When Are you Comin' Home, Red Ryder? and The Distance From Here were both successes that depended on his work.

And he is scheduled to shoot a 16 mm film in downtown Shreveport this summer. It's a story about 3 men trying to survive a severe conflict, he told me.
