O’Hanlon Center’s Art Film Friday Series Focuses on Milley Award-Winning Filmmaker Gary Yost – Jan. 19

From his film The Invisible Peak to his collaborations with the likes of Miwok artist Sky Road Webb, Mill Valley filmmaker Gary Yost is widely known for putting his ever-prolific, creative stamp on the efforts to highlight the history and importance of Mount Tam, and to restore its West Peak.

The folks at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts have long since taken notice of Yost’s work, and they’re putting him center stage for the next edition of their next Art Film Friday series, set for Friday 19, 7pm. Yost will be sharing four shorts he has made about local artists including Zio Ziegler, Stonefox and Genna Panzarella, and sitting for a Q&A afterward. 

Yost has been making films and taking photos for more than 40 years. He began creating computer animation software in the 1980s and was responsible for leading the development of the most widely-used 3D production system in the world  during his time at Autodesk.
