Adapted from Stephen King’s short story “Nona,” “October Roses” is a movie following a down-on-his-luck professor who meets a beautiful woman while hitchhiking around Maine. He gets wrapped up in her web and makes decisions he normally wouldn’t make.

Join the director, Brandon Lazenko, ’16, and other alumni for a reception at 6 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Dining Room, complete with heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages before the campus premiere of his short film at 7 p.m. in the KIVA. After the movie, Lazenko will participate in a panel discussion with those who helped make this film successful, including special effects icon Robert Kurtzman, known for his work in “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Scream” and more. Gain insight on the process in which Lazenko received the rights to make this adaptation and how Kent State played a role in his career.
