Join us on Saturday, November 1st at the historic Gillioz Theatre in downtown Springfield for the red-carpet premiere of The Soft Surrender — a powerful and immersive feature documentary film by renowned artist and filmmaker Randy Bacon.
This deeply moving film and portrait exhibition explores the human experience at life’s threshold, illuminating the beauty, dignity, and emotional depth that exists in end-of-life moments. It’s more than a film — it’s a movement toward compassionate conversations and healing connection.
