But that was just the beginning! Join a dynamic panel featuring screenwriter Rob Edwards (Academy Award® nominated The Princess and The Frog & Treasure Planet), producer Marvin Jones (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Halo, Black Lightning), acclaimed artist Ray-Anthony Height (Studio SKYE-TIGER), creative force and producer Sebastian A Jones of Stranger Comics (Niobe Series), Legion M Producer Chris Cooper, and special guest Dr. Felicia Singleton from the San Diego County Office of Education, for an electrifying exploration of courage, resilience, and the profound impact of storytelling.

FIRST LOOK: THE MAN IN THE WHITE VAN
Based on actual events, this tension-filled, white-knuckle thriller from Legion M and Relativity Media delves into the eerie underbelly of a seemingly idyllic 1975 Florida town, and follows the harrowing experience of young Annie Williams, whose carefree existence is turned upside down as she becomes stalked by an ominous white van. As her parents' skepticism grows, Annie finds herself psychologically isolated and, on Halloween night, her worst fears materialize into a full-blown nightmare as she must fight for her own survival. Join stars Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Madison Wolfe (True Detective, The Conjuring 2), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), Skai Jackson (Jessie), Gavin Warren (Night Swim) and writer/director Warren Skeels (Siesta Key) as they premiere the theatrical trailer, go behind the scenes and share clips from the film, plus discuss the challenges of bringing real, true-crime events to the big screen without glamorizing the perpetrator.
