This year, the award-winning Anderson Film department brings us an adventure inspired by Gertrude Chandler Warner’s iconic Boxcar Children book series and written by AHS Seniors Luke Patterson & Rowan Hurtubise. Set in the modern day, the film tells the story of four children whose mother has passed away and whose father has seemingly abandoned them. Boxcar deals with the different ways each child tries to keep their family together under growing pressures from school, their friends, and from each other.

​

The original score for the film is composed by Anderson Senior Megan McSwegan. It will be performed live by members of the AHS Symphony Orchestra on both Friday and Saturday nights. Each evening will also include selected short films from the Anderson Studio Film classes. Don’t miss this celebration of groundbreaking student film, right here in our neighborhood.
