Thanks for checking out Set The Scene! It’s our first episode and we’re taking a dive into the world and ideology of Film Festivals.

I’m talking to Caroline McMahon, the Head Projectionist at a/perture cinema and Assistant Programmer at the RiverRun International Film Festival. Together we discuss all things movies and film culture as well as a few beautiful tangents. You can find Caroline online @coralinemc on Instagram and @cheralineshow on Twitter.
