ANGEL APPLICANT

When talented art director Ken August Meyer is diagnosed with systemic scleroderma, a rare life-threating disease, he struggles to cope with the disease’s ravages on his body, and the unanswerable question: why me? Receiving no answer from the silent universe, Meyer turns to a study of Paul Klee, a Swiss-German painter of the 1930s who is believed to have suffered from the same disease. In the life and work of Klee, Meyer finds a spiritual companion to guide his journey to hope and meaning. – Jaie Laplante 

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Ken August Meyer and producer/director of photography Jason Roark.
