Rat Powered Films in Pomona this Fall

Rat Powered Films is proud to be working with A Window Between Worlds to create a new film that will be screened at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona in the exhibition BREAKING FREE: Art as a Healing Tool, from October 1 - 31. A juried show SHELTER will run concurrently at the SCA Project Gallery.

We began interviews last Friday and are thrilled to be working with the men and women at A Window Between Worlds. Please take a minute to check out their site and the amazing projects that have been created as part of the art programs offered to people who have experienced domestic violence.
