UPDATED: Carpenter cancels coming to WKU due to health
May 2, 2012
John Carpenter has canceled his visit to WKU for the Western Kentucky Film Festival due to health issues.
Carpenter, a WKU alumnus, was going to come to campus and shoot a movie based off WKU student Andrew Yontz’s script with an all-student film crew. The question-and-answer panel will also be canceled.
On Tuesday night, WKU student Anna Shelton, who runs the group’s Facebook event, posted a notice about Carpenter’s cancellation of working with the student film.
It was announced by Film Club President Stefan Meadows on Wednesday night via the Western Kentucky Film Festival Facebook event that Carpenter’s question-and-answer panel will also be canceled.
The event will try to go on as otherwise planned, Meadows said.

Ive done everything in my power, Ive said it 100 times, to be for the students, Marshall said. So, not only to win, but to hear that reaction for me by the other students is just something that shows people actually care about me [and] really support me.](https://wkuherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jadenmarshall-1200x844.jpg)
