Join The Explorers Club on Tuesday, November 29th for an exclusive, pre-release screening of the award-winning film “Wood Hood” and a conversation with members of the cast and crew.
Wood Hood follows the story of DeVaughn, a 15-year-old kid from New York City who loves skateboarding and craves a “quiet place” to escape the chaos of his home, the city, and kids that steal from him. The film follows DeVaughn on a weekend-long group camping trip with Camping to Connect, a BIPOC-led mentorship program that teaches leadership, brotherhood, and inclusion in the outdoors.
One leader states, “these kinds of conversations are rare for men that look like us,” and as the film weaves between the city and the woods, a place that is unfamiliar and historically inaccessible to these kids, we witness the joy and growth that is possible when kids have an opportunity to find that “quiet place.”
Just last week, Wood Hood won Best Short Film at the 2022 Banff Mountain Film Festival.
Following the screening, J.R. Harris – Club Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – will have a conversation with DeVaughn and the film’s producer, Manny Almonte.
This will be an in-person screening at Explorers Club Headquarters, and we are opening a number of tickets to members and guests.
In-person tickets are $15 for Members, and $30 for the General Public
Check-in will begin at 6:00 pm, with a beer and wine reception from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
