Fine Arts Professor Harmony Arnold designed the costumes, hair, and makeup for the short film By the Salish Sea.  By the Salish Sea, directed by Serge Gregory, concerns a young Salish native whose vision quest is disturbed by the arrival of a tall ship.

A free screening of the film will be shown at the Northwest Film Forum on November 18 a 2 p.m. Roger Fernandes, a member of the Lower Elwa Band of S'Klallam Indians, will offer a context for the film using storytelling, background on coastal Salish culture, and comments on how natives respond to non-native depictions of their culture.

The film is appropriate for all ages. The Northwest Film Forum is located at 1515 12th Avenue, Seattle. RSVPs suggested at this link.
