"I AM" Film Screening & Conversations on Compassion with James Doty, MD and film director Tom Shadyac

Tom’s directing career launched in 1994 with the smash hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In the years that followed, Shadyac established himself as one of Hollywood’s most prolific comedy directors with huge hits such as Liar Liar, The Nutty Professor, Bruce Almighty, Patch Adams, etc... His latest project, the documentary I AM, takes a serious look at what’s wrong with our world and starts to examine what we can do about it. The event will begin with the screening of his film I AM (see http://www.iamthedoc.com/thefilm/) at 6:30, followed by a conversation on compassion with Dr. James Doty from 8:00-8:30 and Q&A from 8:30-8:45.
