Alums Jason Cohn and Camille Servan-Schreibrer’s “Modernism, Inc” screens at SF Indie Film Fest

Alums Jason Cohn (’98) and Camille Servan-Schreibrer‘s (’98) latest film “Modernism, Inc” will have its California premiere at the SF Indie Film Fest Tuesday, February 13.

The film tells the story of a mid-century design icon named Eliot Noyes. Noyes’ work for companies like IBM and Mobil Oil was often behind the scenes, which made him a little less prominent in the public eye than some of his contemporaries, but in many ways he was more influential than any of them. They’ve been showing this film at festivals and special screenings around the country and around the world. And now it’s finally coming to the Bay Area.

Talia Mindich (’22) was the associate producer and assistant editor. Nina Goodby (’11) was assistant editor.
