MAY CINEMA LOUNGE POISED FOR GREATNESS
TONIGHT!! Wednesday, May 16th, 2007 @ Bryant-Lake Bowl - 7pm - FREE
Look out, people. This is gonna be a good one. It's the third
Wednesday of the month already, and that means more hard-hitting
(that's closed-fist!) independent short films from Twin Cities
filmmakers - it's the CINEMA LOUNGE!! This is how we do: we screen
a bunch of local, indie shorts, then bring the filmmakers up onstage
to find out what makes 'em tick. Then everyone heads out to the bar
to schmooze & make nice over cocktails. It's a winning combination
that just wouldn't happen without these filmmakers:
SleepyEye "Buzzkill"
John Fleetham "Shut It Down!"
Matt Olsen
& Eric Nigg "The Stalker"
Dawn Mikkelson "The Red Tail" (trailer)
Rick Fuller "Tim Buckley - My Fleeting House"
Koerner, Ray, & Glover - "Blues,
