Theater
by
Jeremy Hanke
After
receiving a 9.1 in our February 15th issue (which is the
highest score for a film to date), Ryan Graham's comic
masterpiece, Livelihood, will be the first feature
to be shown at the Kentucky Theater, our flagship theater
for ultra-independent theatrical distribution. Located
in Lexington, the second largest city in Kentucky, the
Kentucky Theater has been a champion of arts and Independent
film for eighty-four years now and is pleased to work
with Microfilmmaker Magazine to get the word out about
impressive new directors.
The
premiere of Livelihood as part of Microfilmmaker's
new Ultra-Independent Film Weekend will be occurring
at midnight on Friday, May 5th, and again on Saturday,
May 6th. Opening for both showings will be Alex Ferrari's
critically-acclaimed action short film, Broken.
For folks living in or coming up to the Lexington area
who wish to attend, tickets are only $5 and can be purchased
at the door or by calling (859) 231-6997 after 4 PM. (For
directions or other information, go to the Kentucky
Theater Website.)
To
make sure that the entire city of Lexington is hyped about
the upcoming premiere, Microfilmmaker has teamed
up with Z-Rock
103, Lexington's most popular rock station. We've
already screened the films for a number of the DJ's at
the station and Microfilmmaker's Kari Ann Morgan
will be interviewed about it on the Morning Show with
Twitch and Mary Jane on April 27th.
Additionally,
WKYT, Lexington's CBS
affiliate, will be showcasing a special video interview
with Kari Ann Morgan, as well as the trailer for Livelihood,
on their Moonlight Café on April 28th.
Selected
members of the cast and crew, including the director,
his co-writer, and the executive producer, will be driving
down from Baltimore, MD to join in on all the excitement.
