Presented by A Beautiful Message and directed by De’Viar Woodson, ‘I Have a Story to Tell’ is a short documentary that captures the inaugural year of Vincent Thomas’s art program.

Premiering June 14th at 3:00 PM at Art Center Waco—the film follows six student artists as they bring a mural to life at Waco’s historic Jockey Club Barbershop

But the mural was just the beginning—the students also participated in leadership training sessions and contributed original works to a local exhibit, making the film a compelling celebration of art, culture, and community.
