There will also be the debut of a new short film. Sleep Between the Stars, being shot 'on location' April 5-7, including night-time shoots, on the Okoboji Summer Theatre campus. The screening will be followed by a Q&A to learn more from the Conservatory cast, crew and faculty about the filmmaking process. The event is free and open to the public. Film director Chase Thompson, Associate Professor of Filmmaking and Program Chair at Stephens College states, “Our short film, Sleep Between the Stars, is a student project where we wrote a script that is specific to a location.
