Malone alumni Erin Brown Thomas '07 to have 6 films showcased in Cleveland International Film Festival

 



Erin Brown Thomas '07 will have six of her short films featured in the Cleveland International Film Festival, this Friday, April 4th. "Shorts in Focus: A Retrospective of Films Directed by Erin Brown Thomas" will begin at 5:10 p.m. at the Allen Theatre at 1407 Euclid Ave. on Playhouse Square. "I first played at the Cleveland Film Festival with my short 'Hotwire' in 2015," she said. "Since that time, I've come back almost yearly with them playing 11 films in total. While I was doing my press line at Sundance Film Festival in January, I got a call from CIFF programmer Paul Sloop," she said. "He gave me the good news that not only would my new films 'Chasers' and 'Tacocunr' be welcomed into this year's competition, but they would screen alongside four of my previous films in a retrospective block." Brown Thomas, a 2002 graduate of Revere High School near Akron, graduated from Malone in 2007. She and her husband, Jake, a Canton native and fellow Malone grad, worked in the film industry in Los Angeles for 18 years. Tickets can be purchased at ClevelandFilm.org or by calling 877-304-3456. Tickets also can be purchased in person beginning April 1 at the Film Festival Box Office at the KeyBank State Theatre lobby at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Congratulations to Erin!

He was a boy from Cincinnati and I, a girl from Cleveland, from complete opposite ends of the state and here we were meeting in Canton, Ohio. We learned that we had both been at Malone's Scholar's Day event the year before but never saw each other! During our first year at MU we hung out with the same core group of friends all five of us were pretty inseparable.
