Movie screenings

-sent in by Steve Moon

UNDER THE SIDEWALK MOON TO PREMIERE IN BIRMINGHAM AT THE ALABAMA THEATER ON SEPT 11TH AT 7:30 PM.

Join me to celebrate the screening of this film at the Alabama Theater on Sept. 11th.

Sept 11th is our unofficial Patriot Day. It is a day to celebrate unity! We can have a day to agree to disagree with our political and personal ideals and show the world (or Birmingham) that we choose to take this day and recognize those who are different from us and embrace them.

My film ironically was about "Patriotism" and "doing what is right unto others, and unto yourself" to quote Manfredi from Under the Sidewalk Moon.

I screened this at the Bama Theater in Tuscaloosa and was subsequently invited as a guest to the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. To say the least, I was honored, surprised, humbled, and ecstatic, all at once.

I hope to see you there. Tickets are $10 at the door the day of the event. Doors open at 7:00 and the screening at 7:30. Watch for a screening of "My Inner Vancouver" starring Dallas Teague to premiere sometime this winter. Thanks
