Join us for the premiere of Leave The Door Open, the first-ever student-led feature-length film produced by Villa Maria College’s Digital Filmmaking Department (DFM).

This slow-burning psychological drama blends long takes and arthouse aesthetics to explore what happens when we fail to accept that sometimes, we may need to leave the door closed on what life throws at us. The evening will feature live music performances of the film’s original score by the Music Department, brief remarks from faculty and students, and complimentary popcorn and refreshments.

Come celebrate this historic milestone for the DFM Department and the Villa community!

Sponsored by Villa Maria College’s Digital Filmmaking Department. Additional support and sponsor: Villa Maria College’s Animation, and Music Department; ALC Casting Studio, Southern Junction, Olive Garden, Raha Coffee House, Hanna’s Frosty Treats, and Amtrak Buffalo.
