The highly anticipated documentary "Watershed," co-directed by five-time Paralympic medalist Mallory Weggemann and her husband Jay Snyder, will make its theatrical debut on July 11, 2024 with a special one-night screening across 60 select AMC theaters nationwide before its release on Peacock on July 16, 2024. "Watershed" delves into the extraordinary life of Mallory Weggemann as she trains for the Tokyo Paralympics amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The film provides an intimate portrayal of her journey, capturing the highs and lows of her athletic career alongside her and Jay’s personal struggle with infertility and undergoing IVF. Self-documented by Weggemann and Snyder, the film offers a raw and authentic glimpse into their lives, highlighting their resilience and determination while aiming to provide authentic representation for the disability community and shine a light on the importance of IVF. The premiere comes on the heels of Weggemann’s recent achievement of securing her spot for her fourth Paralympics, a milestone she’ll be preparing for as she breaks new ground as the first Paralympian to host Olympic coverage for NBCUniversal on E! and CNBC at the upcoming Paris games. “This documentary is a piece of our hearts and we’re thrilled for audiences across the country to experience it,” said Weggemann. “It’s been such an incredible opportunity to bring our story to the world while addressing the representation void that I felt so profoundly after my paralysis. It is our hope that the film inspires others to face their own watershed moments with courage and determination.” “'Watershed' allowed us to share a truly intimate chapter of our lives,” Jay Snyder added. “We’re so grateful to AMC for their support in bringing this film to the public, allowing us to spark important conversations that we believe will resonate deeply with those watching.” Film on AMC website Official Film website: https://www.watershedfilm.com/ "Watershed" on Instagram

2023 SDSU Grad Award Exhibit Marinta Skupin’s paintings and drawings probe our relationship with the natural environment. Among the imagery referenced in her work is that of the San Diego landscape. Skupin combines it with language and scientific data in order to examine how we know the world around us. In addition to being inspired by physical features of the natural world, Skupin’s work is informed by her reflections on the history of landscape painting and on issues such as extinction and the predicted climate apocalypse. The title of the exhibition is a quote from the following passage, written by David Benioff and spoken by Brad Pitt’s character in the 2004 film Troy: “Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.” This is Skupin’s first solo exhibition and is the result of a partnership between Art Produce and San Diego State University, through which Art Produce makes an annual award to one student in the University’s School of Art & Design for an exhibition.
