About this Event
Have you ever had to sacrifice a dream to make way for something else? At some point in our lives we all experience giving up something meaningful to make room for something else also important to us.
Join us for this event as we explore that moment in Sammy’s Final Arrangement, a profound and introspective film by Chad Santo Tomas profiling a florist at the peak of his game who comes to terms with his career as he decides to retire. In the process, he reflects on the unexpected grief that comes with pursuing your dreams, and the consequences of loss and making difficult life decisions. Following the film will be a discussion about the themes it explores with the filmmaker and the subject, Sammy, moderated by Melanie Elvena from the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center. Be ready and open to share some of your buried dreams to be released into the ether.
