Cinema Speakeasy and Cinefist are excited to team up to present a special test screening of indie auteur Gary King’s newest feature film musical: ‘How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song’
Cinema Speakeasy has long been involved in the DIY distribution movement. In fact, the organization was born out of a desire to help independent filmmakers find new audiences, as well as to help them sustain be providing revenue sharing models for the films we show. When our friends at Cinefist suggested we hold a test screening for Gary King’s newest film, we jumped at the chance. King has long been a bastion in the DIY film movement, but even more crucially, we think he’s a damn fine filmmaker.
Join us to watch his newest feature in a special workshop format. We’ll be providing Gary with some constructive criticism after the screening, so bring your eagle eye and help him make the film everything it can be.
Still, don’t forget to bring libations… to drink, to share, to pour on your neighbor’s toes when you disagree with his feedback. This is a Cinema Speakeasy event, after all, and what do we do at Cinema Speakeasy events? That’s right! We watch films, meet new people, and get loose.
