Nashville Film Festival Preview, Metro Council Updates, and Spicy (Not Hot!) Chicken News

On this week’s Friday News Roundup, executive producer Whitney Pastorek and producer Marie Cecile Anderson are joined by Metro Council contributor Nicole Williams for an update on Council’s recommendation that MNPD adopt a zero-tolerance sexual misconduct policy, as well as the four anti-Nazi bills recently proposed by the mayor. We’ve also got your preview of the Nashville Film Festival, updates on Old Tent City and Wasioto Park, and some exciting new restaurants to check out. Plus, there’s a contestant from Nashville on the new season of “Survivor”! And stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for the weekend, presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Two incredible festivals are in full swing this weekend: AmericanaFest and the Nashville Film Festival. While the headlining artists and big-name films may already be sold out, it’s the perfect time to discover something new. On Saturday, start your evening at 7 p.m. at Mirror Mirror on Lebanon Pike to catch Norwegian alt-pop duo Ask Carol, and then head to the Regal Green Hills Theater to creep yourself out with the block of Graveyard Shift Shorts that starts at 9 p.m. Don’t go gently, go in Tecovas!
