You're invited to BCTV's Annual Meeting
Wednesday, October 9
6-8 PM in the BCTV Studio
Public Welcome
This year we are hosting this event "at home" so you can marvel at the newly-renovated studio for yourself. Join us for food and awards, fun with the green screen, the "State of the Station" report, and everyone's favorite, the thunderously-edited montage of this year's local shows.
Featuring an exclusive "sneak preview" of a Vermont Film's forthcoming project, From Away, which depicts the various influences, both positive and negative, of the ongoing influx of out-of-staters on the state of Vermont. This is a chance to hear filmmaker and BCTV board member Tim Wessel talk about this exciting work.
