Rick Baker Tribute - Movie Screenings with Q&A and Art Show

The Monster Maker - A Celebration of Makeup and Effects Legend Rick Baker

Rick Baker is a Hollywood legend. During his illustrious career that has spanned four decades and has earned him seven Oscars (so far) and countless other awards, Baker and his team continue to redefine the craft of creature makeup and effects. His resume includes films like An American Werewolf in London, Men in Black, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, along with Michael Jackson's groundbreaking video short "Thriller."
