Northwest Film Forum presents:
In California's Mojave Desert, the US Army has built a billion dollar, 100 square mile "virtual Iraq." The urban warfare simulation, populated with hundreds of Iraqi role-players, is the last stop for troops before deployment to the war. FULL BATTLE RATTLE follows one Army battalion through the simulation, as they attempt to quell an insurgency and prevent a village from slipping into civil war. Capturing the engrossing simulation as well as interviews with role players on all sides, FULL BATTLE RATTLE finds a potent, multi-layered allegory of the Iraq War and the cultural and religious differences that confound America's efforts.

The Stranger and 826 Seattle present:
Upcoming workshop on September 9th--
HOW TO WRITE LIKE A QUADRUPED with Garth Stein
Does your narrator have to be a human? Of course not! But in order to convince your reader to suspend his disbelief, you need to create a world and a sense of fictional truth that is completely honest and consistent. Furthermore, if you are going to use a non-human narrator, you must fully embrace the uniqueness of her voice and perspective. This workshop will delve into what makes fiction work, from cause-and-effect to narrative style, and provide tools that will help your writing, whether your narrator is a fly on the wall or a slightly more conventional bipedal human.
$27 per workshop
