SUMMARY:Local Filmmaker Series: Samarah Hasan-Kepes and family
DESCRIPTION:Join The LAVA Center for four evenings of local film screenings
  and discussions with the filmmakers! Leading up to the 3rd annual LAVA Fi

 t this series is even more locally focused on Valley filmmakers! $5 sugges
 ted donation goes to support the filmmakers and LAVA.\n\nSamarah Hasan-Kep

 is 10 years old\, and lives in Easthampton\, MA. She enjoys making films a
 nd can speak Chinese fluently.\n\nGyuri Kepes (Assistant Director\, Cinema

 mmunication at Landmark College where he teaches courses in multimedia pro
 duction. He enjoys painting and making films with his daughter\, Samarah.\
