    Join us Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m. for a special screening of “The Ocean – Five Years,” an award-winning documentary by Flying Scooter Productions. The film follows Brett McCutcheon, a young composer processing the sudden loss of his brother Ryan. Blending classical and contemporary music, this moving story explores themes of grief, love and healing through a deeply human lens. 

    After the screening, stick around for a live Q&A with filmmakers Courtney Gumpf, ’07, director, and Jennifer Schlepper, director, screenwriter and producer. Learn about their creative process and the personal stories behind a film that invites open, compassionate conversations about grief. 

    Don't miss this powerful evening of storytelling, reflection and connection.
