Monster in a Dress Movie screening and discussion with filmmaker Annie Weatherwax

Annie Weatherwax spent her early career as an artist sculpting superheroes and cartoon characters. Included in her portfolio are characters from Nickelodeon, DC Comics, and Pixar. Her debut novel, All We Had, was a finalist for the Massachusetts Book Award and is now a major motion picture from Tribeca films. In 2017 she received The Hamilton Life Achievement Award for individuals with dyslexia. “Monster in a Dress,” a semi-autobiographical story about her struggle growing up as a girl who didn’t act like one, is her latest project.

Following the screening, there will be a youth-led discussion with Weatherwax and an opportunity to support the programming of 826 Boston. Wine and refreshments will be provided.
