Join the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing as they host a screening of THE REST I MAKE UP with the filmmaker Michelle Memran! This is a free screening, please follow the link to register for a FREE ticket. If space allows for walk ups, they will be accommodated on the night of.
The film’s title, The Rest I Make Up, is taken from lyrics to one of Irene’s songs in Promenade: “I know everything. Half of it I really know. The rest I make up.” It is a testament to the way life can creatively increase even as it is cognitively disappearing, and to the way a teacher can continue to lead a student even as the student begins to lead the teacher. Over the past fifty years, there have been thousands of artists and writers who have worked with Irene or taken her legendary workshops. And each of them has an Irene story to tell. The Rest I Make Up is mine.
