Robinson Film Center will host a screening of the award-winning documentary Assembly Required on March 21st at 7pm in the Willis Knighton Theater.

The short documentary, featuring interviews with creatives such as Shreveport’s William Joyce (writer/illustrator), Nelson Coates (production designer), Leah Rama (fashion designer), and Ken Kocienda (Apple hardware designer), and executives such as Ed Catmull (Pixar), Shona Brown (Google), and Gina Rudan (X), explores the particular challenges of building and leading creative teams in the 21st century workforce. The screening will also feature a panel discussion and Q&A with filmmaker Matt Maxwell, directors Kyle Dickson & Mike Wiggins, and community activist Allison Richardson. Jeffrey Goodman will serve as the moderator.

"This is going to be a special screening for us as it is geared toward current and future local business leaders,” said Wendell Riley, Executive Director of Robinson Film Center. “As the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century economy continue to evolve, it’s important for us to take time to examine what effective leadership and team building look like, particularly from firsthand accounts of those at the top of their fields.”
