The LONGEST post in the history of the blog....but what could I POSSIBLY have cut out?

(Thanks to John Anthony for posting all of these images and this info to Facebook...)
OK, so blog posts are supposed to be relatively short, but when I went looking for some info about this semester's Thesis screenings, I discovered this set of film posters produced by the filmmakers. How could I NOT post them....they're as extraordinary as the works they represent.

Here's the announcement (once again, courtesy of John Anthony):

Come enjoy, experience, and revel in the marvel of the films of students in Cathy Crane's Thesis Cinema Production class. A two-night event!
