Get your tickets to the exclusive premiere of Poiesis.

Poiesis is a short film about creativity, identity, and love. Our story follows a young artist, Marcus, who faces hard questions about art and the creative process when his girlfriend asks him to make her a painting. Like many artists, Marcus feels pressure from all sides. He struggles with his own ambition as a creative and is tempted to despair.

The title for our film, ‘Poiesis’, comes from an ancient Greek word that means “the act of creation or making." This word was chosen intentionally. In a world where the very act of creating is threatened by things like artificial intelligence, consumerism, and passivism, we want to tell a story that invites our audience to reconsider what makes creativity good. What should make us want to create? Why should we reject the myriad of temptations to compromise and despair - things that ultimately undermine and discourage creating?

The film is 10 minutes in length. The night will consist of the film showing, a panel discussion with the producers, a behind the scenes videos, and then a Q / A. Light refreshments will be provided!
