The Constituent + Q&A and Book Signing with Oscar Winner Ernest Thompson

Cinema at the State Presents
The Constituent
Including Q&A with Oscar-Winning Author Ernest Thompson & Book Signing Event
The Constituent is a short film written and directed by, and starring Oscar winner Ernest Thompson (On Golden Pond); also starring Emmy-winning actor Gordon Clapp (NYPD Blue). This hilarious and uproarious film presents a moving study of human connection and finding commonality in a polarized culture; it was written and directed by Thompson and adapted from his one-act play. Thompson’s approach to writing? “My mantra is the Three Hs. If a story, in whatever form, doesn’t include Heart, Humor and Hope, I’m out, as actor, director and, certainly, writer.” Ernest Thompson
