Each year Aurora commissions an artist to make a trailer for the organization that will play before each film. For 2011, Aurora worked with artists Ray Ogar and Jennifer Rospert who used stop motion animation techniques to create a unique introduction for Aurora Picture Show that will be used for the year. Come see it on the big screen before each of our events.
