The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON - The Dayton Historical Depot Society (DHDS) is sponsoring a free screening of "Colors of Threads" on Monday, April 22, at 7 p.m. at the Liberty Theater in Dayton.

The movie "Colors of Threads" was written by Josie Henderson, a WWU alumna, and produced by the Center for Media Ministry (CMM) at Walla Walla University.

The screening at The Liberty will begin at 7 p.m. , followed by a question-and-answer period with producers.

The film was produced as a proof of concept project, a short film of select scenes that best represent the story and theme for a television series or movie. After screenings at College Place, Pendleton, and Dayton, the film will be sent on a film festival circuit with the hope it will be acquired for production as a series.

The Dayton Historic Depot was one of the locations chosen for filming the story of a weaver and a group of seamstresses who learn to navigate the unstable climate in post-Civil War Pendleton, Oregon. More info at http://www.colorofthreads.com.

"DHDS is absolutely stoked to support the screening of 'Colors of Threads' at the Liberty Theater here in Dayton," says Karina Baker, Museum Director. "This film truly celebrates the incredible ingenuity of students from WWU while capturing the historic spirit of the Dayton Historic Depot."

Baker invites everyone to enjoy this unique experience. Admission is free; however, due to limited space, tickets must be reserved at https://tinyurl.com/yjvphxn2 or wallawalla.edu/cmm.

"The Color of Threads" was filmed at several locations in Walla Walla, Umatilla, and Columbia counties, and it received lots of support from local organizations and community members. Fifteen students of the WWU film program helped with filming last summer, working alongside industry professionals to gain experience on set.

The Dayton Historical Depot Society is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Dayton, Washington. Through the restoration and utilization of the Dayton Historic Depot and Boldman House as museums, the DHDS aims to educate the community and provide valuable historical resources for future generations.
