Enjoy Indie Flicks and Michigan Beer
August 30, 2008
Beginning tomorrow, Sunday August 31, at 7 p.m., McGeady’s Pub in Monroe will debut their The I-75 Film Series, a monthly indy film series showcasing talented filmmakers and their work. The goal of series is to promote independent filmmaking on all levels.
Each month they will showcase different indie and student films from around the country. Submissions are $5.00 for short and student films, and $10.00 for feature length. The films will be viewed by a panel of four film/video professionals including award-winning filmmakers, videographers and writers. Selection will be based on originality, creativity, and overall production quality. Each month, selected films will be shown at McGeady’s in front of a live audience. The film-makers will have the option of introducing their film and participating in a Q and A about their production with the audience. After the screening, film makers will be contacted with feedback and critiques of thier production.
This is the kind of cool/artsy event that I am happy to see in Monroe and I hope it is successful. So I’d encourage all indie movie buffs in Monroe to check it out. Admission to each screening event is FREE. What’s even better? McGeady’s has a decent (and hopefully growing) selection of bottled Michigan beers available for you to imbibe while you take in the films!

Thanks for the head’s up! That sounds cool.
I hope all is well with baby-to-be! I’m thinking of you both (er, all 3 of you!)

That’s a really cool idea for Monroe. I wish I could be there each month to enjoy it.
Have Kevin videotape the baby’s birth and submit it for next month’s viewing.
Just kidding!

Told the Farris man about the indie flick coming up on the 28th. A great event that should of been done a long time ago. I wonder if they’re going to show the classic film,”Mad Bastard from Chicago”.
