In preparation for the much-beloved upcoming Cucalorus film festival, Thomson is here to tell us about two exciting events she has planned.

Next, on Monday, August 11 at 6pm at the New Hanover Public Library, Thomson will be hosting a night of rare, archived films under the banner of "Going to the Movies: From Scotland to Wilmington."
