DESCRIPTION:Sunday, Feb 21 7:30 PM\nAdmission: $5.00\nMovies on a Big Screen at The 
 Guild2828 35th St, Sacramento, CA\n Independents: A Guide for the Creative 
 Spirit \n\nFilmmaker Chris Brandt is currently scheduled to be in 
 appearance. Additionally, we've got some local independent comic book 
 artists coming out with some of their work. See the end of this listing for 
 the full line-up of who's currently scheduled! \n\nWhy does one choose to 
 become an "artist?" What makes an artist "independent?" Where do they get 
 their ideas? Twenty-four respected creators unveil the secrets of the 
 artistic mind, by talking about their favorite medium, the lowest of the 
 low-brow arts: comic books. From cave paintings dating back 35,000 years to 
 the graphic novels of today, sequential images have been used to tell 
 magically influential stories. In examining an art form that has, until 
 recently, not been accepted as "art", and discovering what it is these 
 passionate creators find appealing about comic books, a bright light is 
 shed on ALL independent creators, whether they work in graphic novels, 
 film, music, or basket weaving. And look at this list of who's featured in 
 the film: Jessica Abel (ArtBabe; Life Sucks); Trevor Alixopulos (Quagga);
