Join us in celebrating the legendary John Payne as we bring Kinetosaurs to life alongside AVL Beer Week and Director Mitch Rumfelt. In the space where Payne's masterpieces were born, we'll honor his lasting impact on art and community. Enjoy a multi-projector video and sound immersion production into the world of Kinetosaur, chronicling the legacy of John Payne and Asheville’s River Arts District through archival footage and audio, with special guest DJ Nex Millin and a trailer release for the upcoming film Kinetosaur. Mitch Rumfelt is a producer and director in Asheville, North Carolina. His work is dedicated to showcasing unique and emerging perspectives through independent film. His new feature-length documentary Kinetosaur, profiling the lasting cultural impact of tenacious Southern sculptor John Payne, is currently in production and expected to be completed in early 2025. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to The Gotham Film & Media Institute - Fiscal Sponsorship Program 2024 for Kinetosaur to help them complete their project.
