3/7/18 - Fail State Sells Out SXSW EDU
Introduction by Dan Rather and discussion with LSU's Alexander & College Promise Campaign's Kanter
The Fail State team is back from Austin where we premiered the film in front of a sold out house at SXSW EDU. Fail State's executive producer Dan Rather introduced the film and Ernest Ezeugo of New America moderated an exceptional post-screening panel with Louisiana State University President F. King Alexander, College Promise executive director Martha Kanter, and Fail State director Alex Shebanow. The film was a smash hit and the audience stayed 40 minutes minutes after the film to listen to the discussion.
After the screening, the Fail State team hosted a cocktail reception at a nearby restaurant to continue the conversation. Videos and pictures below.
