AmeriMovie Night: "I Didn't Come Here to Die"

Celebrate AmeriCorps Week with this SUPER SPECIAL screening of AmeriCorps Alum Bradley Scott Sullivan's I Didn't Come Here To Die! We are beyond thrilled to watch this ~almost true story~ inspired by his time in NCCC.

This event is free of cost, thanks to the generous support of the filmmaker and our friends at Thimble Island Brewing Company. The brewery will be selling their amazing beer, and we will have some snacky things and non-alcoholic bevs to share (and we invite you to bring some as well!)

Mingling starts at 6pm, movie starts at 6:30 and is about 90 mins long.

Please note that while all are welcome, this is a horror film and may be scary for very young people (and for older people as well, but you will be among friends!)
