"GENERATION STARTUP" SCREENING AT DUO SECURITY

Ann Arbor Film Festival
Feb 22, 2017
1 min read

On March 9th Duo Security will be hosting a screening of Generation Startup, a documentary chronicling the stories of six recent college graduates who have put everything on the line to launch start-ups in Detroit. This film, directed by Cynthia Wade and Cheryl Miller Houser, aims to celebrate their success and diversity while also being a call-to-action for young entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship among 18-34 year olds is at a 24-year low, and this film highlights the importance of promoting and encouraging this type of economic development among young adults, especially women. Everyone in attendance will receive a discount code to purchase tickets for the 55th AAFF, March 21-26. Join us on March 9th at Duo Security at 6pm for the pre-screening mixer, with a 7pm screening and a panel immediately following.
