Panelists: Jen Tennican/ JenTen Productions, Director of Hearts of Glass; Two Vertical Harvest of Jackson Hole Employees (stay tuned!); The Forbes Family Farm
Moderator: Jessica Dean, WWCC English Faculty | Urban Farmer

About the Film:
“Hearts of Glass” follows the tumultuous first 15 months of operation of Vertical Harvest (VH) of Jackson Hole, a multi-story, state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse that grows crops while providing meaningful, competitively-paid jobs for people with disabilities. VH is located on 1/10 of an acre at an elevation of 6,237 feet in Jackson, a mountain town with extreme seasonal fluctuations in weather, population, and demand for produce.The film weaves the story of VH’s technical and business challenges with the personal journeys of several employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Innovation, inclusion and opportunity create a fertile environment for people and plants to grow. The employees with disabilities – part of an underestimated, underemployed and vulnerable population – are a vital and visible part of this community-based business.

Ucross is pleased to announce that three award-winning authors, Elissa Schappell, Ian Bassingthwaighte, and Ling Ma will give a combined reading at Sheridan College on Thursday, September 19. A discussion and book signing will follow. The event, which is co-hosted by Sheridan College and Ucross, will take place from 7-8 pm in Whitney Academic Center W153.
