SHORT FILMS
Enjoy a presentation of three short films centered on stories of resilience in the face of complex physical and neurological challenges.

The Rescue
Director: Seth Bakke
Trapped in silence, a nonverbal young man must fight to communicate as a new therapist sees what no one else can — the subtle signs of a mind trying to break free.

Apple Juice with No Ice
Director: Jillian Caforio
Inspired by the special needs community, this film follows Joey as he reluctantly accepts a new job taking Miles out for dinner each week. He discovers what true friendship is and that life is better with no ice.

The Calm Under the Water
Director: Cam Brooks
The story of an artist paralyzed from the neck down as they navigate physical obstacles in a journey toward happiness and inner peace.

Every Friday there's something new to do and see, plus a showcase of up-and-coming and established performers. In essence, this after-hours weekly discounted event has something for all ages and it's fresh and never boring.

Plus, if it's Friday, shake off the sand and head down to The Norton as part of the museum's Art After Dark series that features something new and different each week.

And if it's the first Friday of the month, it's Jazz Friday, with cool tunes and hot vibes.

The museum is open to the public until 10 p.m. on Friday nights throughout the year. It will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

Reduced-rate tickets for these programs are $5-$10; members and children 12 and under are admitted for free. Plus, active military and county residents will be admitted free of charge, with I.D.
