Converge Media will be screening CD Panthers: The Marathon at tonight’s LexScope Scope Screenings showcase. The film documents the impact of D’Vonne Pickett Jr. on the CD Panthers youth football program. Pickett, who was murdered in October, was the head coach for the 6u team and made an indelible impact on the lives of the youth he coached.

The film was produced by Converge Media as a gift to the Pickett Family, honoring and uplifting D’Vonne’s contributions and sharing his legacy.

Every second Tuesday of the month, LexScope gathers the community for Scope Screenings at the Here-After theater, located in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle within the Crocodile venue compound. Showings include narrative short films, music videos, and a variety of high-quality short-form content from independent filmmakers within the community.”

“Scope Screenings was started for filmmakers, by filmmakers. The goal of the event being to provide a safe and inclusive space for artists and like-minded individuals to connect and explore ideas in real life.”

At 7pm the screening starts, and unlike your typical theater experience, these films come with commentary. LexScope puts an emphasis on the people behind the scenes, giving exposure to the filmmakers and allowing people to speak a bit about their art. The often overlooked, independent creatives have the opportunity to showcase their art with real people in their community who can interact and show appreciation in the moment.
