On Monday, April 23, two short films created by Concordia students will be premiered at the Fargo Theatre. Students in Dr….
Silence has never been so terrifying. In his most recent film, John Krasinski—yes, the same John Krasinski that stars as Jim Halpert in “The Office”—has created a unique, powerful thriller that arrived in theaters on April 6.
