"Beyond Bars" Informational Panel

Join us in the Carriage House for a free information panel and discussion moderated by Jeff Koterba with filmmakers Tabitha Lincoln and Alec Rome, screenwriter Christine Burright and Rodney Lincoln.

Tabitha Lincoln and Alec Rome are working on a documentary about the conviction and eventual release (due in part to the advocacy of the Innocence Project) of the formerly incarcerated-person, Rodney Lincoln. The “coast-to coast” killer, Tommy Lynn Sells, is now believed to have been responsible for the murders originally attributed to Rodney Lincoln.

Beyond Bars will be her first documentary as well as her first time directing and producing. When Tabitha is not filmmaking you can find her bartending at Platypus, working on her screenplay Cybersick, and fostering dogs from the Humane Society!
