	*Microfilmmaker News: The Coatroom* Comes to July's Ultra-Independent Film Weekend**

by Jeremy Hanke

After receiving the second highest review in our December 15th issue, Jason Frederick Gilbert's quirky comedy about museum coatroom attendants, The Coatroom, will be the third feature to be shown at the Kentucky Theater as part of Microfilmmaker's Ultra-Independent Film Weekend. The film is considered by the reviewers at this magazine to be a "must see for anyone who's ever worked in retail or had to deal with the public"..."a sort of Clerks for the 21st century."

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 help showcase impressive new directors.

The showings of The Coatroom will be occurring at midnight on Friday, July 7th, and again on Saturday, July 8th. Opening for both showings will be Steve Piper's brilliant look at voyeurism, How to Disappear Completely , which received a 9.0 in our April Issue. 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 will be screening the films for a number of the DJ's at the station, as well as other members of the media, and Microfilmmaker's Kari Ann Morgan will be interviewed about it on the Morning Show with Twitch and Mary Jane. Additionally, Z-Rock's Scott Hammer will be introducing the shows on Friday, July 7th.

Additionally, WKYT, Lexington's CBS affiliate, will be showcasing a special video interview with Kari Ann on their Moonlight Café later in the month.
