Christine Vachon is already well known in Hollywood as an acclaimed film producer but her latest movie – “Carol” has racked up an amazing six Oscar nominations this year. On March 21, Vachon will speak at NJCU’s Gothic Lounge at 7 p.m. Vachon produced Todd Haynes’ first feature, “Poison,” which was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 1991. Since then, she has gone on to produce many celebrated American independent films, including “Far From Heaven” (nominated for four Academy Awards), “Boys Don’t Cry” (Academy Award winner), “One Hour Photo,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “ I Shot Andy Warhol,” “I’m Not There,” and the TV miniseries Mildred Pierce for HBO. The event is co-sponsored by the NJCU Business Development Incubator and the Media Arts Department and is free and open to students and the university community.
