"Pumpkinhead" Film Screening & Discussion

Artist Sharon Jane Braun will educate movie-lovers about some of the lesser-known aspects of visual home media (think DVD menus), followed by a screening of campy 80s horror movie "Pumpkinhead".

Sharon Jane Braun is a pioneer of the animated DVD Menu. She helped to develop the visual language, design style, special features, and "Easter eggs" of hundreds of movies' home media DVD releases - including classics such as the James Bond films, Platoon, Hoosiers, and Bio-Dome. Braun will give a presentation at the Fayetteville Public Library about her groundbreaking work in the medium, her inspiration and design techniques, and share her experiences working in this part of the film production industry. After her talk and a brief Q&A, the film Pumpkinhead (1988) - which Braun designed the DVD menu for - will be screened.
