“Dark and Tender: The Big Island” a Film by the Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project
Film screening and Q & A in Thomas Berry Hall, Whidbey Institute.
Saturday, September 19th @ 6 p.m.
This is a by-donation event.
To RSVP: https://givebutter.com/whidbey-big-island
Join us for a film screening and Q&A hosted by Dark and Tender Producer Ben Wilson of Color of Sound. Directed by Aaron Johnson (Founder, The CUT Project)
Produced by Ben Wilson and Color of Sound
In the second chapter of Aaron Johnson’s film “Dark and Tender”, ten Black men journey to the Big Island of Hawaii to workshop the touch and listening practices from the Chronically UnderTouched Project. Part cinéma vérité, part elucidated teaching, the film slows down with the men as they reclaim and rebuild platonic intimacy and trust. Holding space for each other, they shake off violent narratives of Black masculinity and seek to restore a vital and basic human need in their lives – tender touch.
Both short films “Dark and Tender: A Film by the Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project”
and “Dark and Tender: The Big Island” will be screened.
“Dark and Tender: A Film by the Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project”

Unscripted Center Conversation Series:
Bob Merry & Whit Stillman
Saturday, May 3rd @ 7:30 p.m.
Robert Merry brings another famous friend to Whidbey Island! Screenwriter, director, and producer Whit Stillman joins us in conversation on the 35th anniversary of Metropolitan, the ironically comic look at Manhattan’s endangered debutante scene that chronicles the rise and ultimate decline of a group of young Park Avenue socialites who gather nightly to discuss love, honor, and the impending demise of their class. Watch the movie at WICA on Friday night, and then come join in a rare conversation with Bob and Whit on the film, art, life, and the state of these United States! Stay after the conversation for a casual reception and meet-and-greet in Zech Hall. Reception food is included in the ticket; a no-host bar will be open. Be sure to watch the film the night before—Friday, May 2nd at 7:30 PM on the WICA mainstage!
