His short film, \u201cThe Day After Stonewall Died\u201d won Best Short Film at the Cannes Short Film Festival. Sims lives in Atlanta, splitting time between freelance content creation and learning to build web applications.<\/p>\n

A native of Tennessee, Raven Jackson is a poet and filmmaker currently attending New York University\u2019s graduate film program. A Cave Canem fellow and graduate of the New School\u2019s writing program, her work has appeared, or is forthcoming, in TriQuarterly, CALYX, Kweli, Phantom Limb, PANK and elsewhere. She is on production on her fourth short film.<\/p>\n

Originally from Nashville, Chip Boles has worked in a combination of traditional and digital media since 2001. Known for realistic illustrations of unreal things, his work tends towards the realistic, but caricatured; the beautiful, but monstrous. Boles holds an MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (2007) and a BFA from APSU (2000). His illustration clients include The Wall Street Journal Asia and CNN. He illustrated and designed the Yokai Character Collection, which was featured in the New York Times Arts (May 20th, 2015). Boles is also a mural and scenic painter, having worked for the series Nashville, as well as Nashville Children\u2019s Theatre.<\/p>\n

Following the reading, a showing of all three artists\u2019 work and a panel discussion will also be held in the Trahern Gallery.<\/p>\n
