The Big Screen Film Series continues with CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Where: Academic Center Auditorium
When:  February 26, 7:00pm

Clawing Monster from Another Age Strikes from the Amazon's Forbidden Depths!!!  Centuries of Passion Pent Up in His Savage Heart!!!  And, so blared the posters for CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON in 1954. Hey, they had me at "Clawing Monster."

A scientific expedition travels to the Amazon and encounters a living prehistoric amphibian-the Gill-man. As the team attempts to capture the creature, tension rises when the Gill-man becomes fascinated with a woman in the group. Universal Pictures' last iconic movie monster, the Gill-man was played by Florida native Ricou Browning, an expert diver who performed extended submerged takes-often without visible air hoses-giving the Creature its eerie, fluid grace.

Paul Oman is a Wisconsin-based artist and pastor who, from a young age, drew inspiration from the landscapes and nature surrounding his farm, where he spent his childhood. He pursued a science education degree at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where he also took drawing classes and fell in love with watercolors. Later on, he attended seminary and was inspired to use his artistic talents for ministry and mission. He now runs Drawn to the Word, an artistic ministry where he paints large-scale live murals of Bible stories and themes, where his goal is to bring the Scripture to life in an engaging and imaginative way.
