Filmmaker Garrett Scott was supposed to speak following the screening of his film "Occupation:Dreamland" this coming Friday, March 10. However, Garrett died from a heart arrhythmia last week (two days before his film won the prize for the "Truth is Stranger than Fiction" category at the Independent Spirit awards). Magic lantern Films will be celebrating Garrett's life and work when we screen his award winning film this Friday at 7:00 and 9:30.
