SMALL TOWN UNIVERSE is directed by Katie Dellamaggiore (SXSW Audience Award Winner Brooklyn Castle), and set in Green Bank, WV, where life unfolds in the quiet zone of the world’s largest steerable radio telescope. The film traces the telescope’s history and role in the search for extraterrestrial life, the STEM opportunities it offers rural students, and the community’s fight to protect it when funding is threatened.
