Hey Philly/PA Browncoats!

I manage an independent movie theater in Philadelphia, PA and also happen to be a major browncoat.

After handing out copies of Serenity to the staff for christmas, I won enough converts to convince the theater owner to book Serenity for two screenings as part of our midnight movie series.

It screens at midnight on Friday Feb. 10th and Sat. Feb 11th. And it's in our 320 seat theater on 35mm.

Our midnight series is a lot of fun AND if Serenity does well, there's a great chance we'll be able to bring it back every year - hopefully to keep the cult status growing...

Go to:

http://www.brynmawrfilm.org

for info and directions - the midnite movies are listed at the bottom of the page. The theater is on Route 30, on the "main line" - a suburban stretch right outside Philadelphia, PA.

I've also been talking to Lisa Lassek, the editor of the
film, about coming and doing a Q&A at the theater (she's from Bryn Mawr originally), although NOT this screening. But if we get a good crowd, it will help convice her to come in the future AND get us another screening!

So please come on out and fill the theater! I can't wait to see the BDM on the big screen again AND get paid for it!

-Ben

You won't be able to make it? I assumed that attendance is mandatory for at least both of the showings.

AWESOME! I'll be there with as many browncoats or potential browncoats I can rustle up.

Ben --

Email me at ninahattian (at) comcast (dot) net if you need help advertising or anything. I work at CHOP, so I walk past UPenn and Drexel twice a day. Happy to put up flyers or something. Not sure how many folks will make the commute, but you never know...

Nina - for any folks coming from the city, the movie theater is RIGHT next to an R5 stop - literally like 100 feet from the Bryn Mawr R5... the only problem is that the train won't run back when the movie's over...I for one am happy to give some browncoats a ride home to the city (as I live there), but of course I've only got four spots beside myself... but we can prob. rustle up some rides if we try... but getting out there from Drexel is *easy*... just nab the R5 at 30th St... and if you have a car, that makes it all the easier...

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.

That frickin' rocks! I am so coming... from Indianapolis, but that's another story. I'll round up the Philly crew. We'll be out in numbers.

oh - and one more addendum: It's only 5 bucks.

and i can be reached at: bhickernell@brynmawrfilm.org if anyone has questions.

hopefully we can get this as a headline here to really get the word out! again, hope to see lots of folks come out - and if anyone has any ideas as to how to make the screening "special" - I'm open to ideas. (No, I can't get Nathan Fillion, but maybe we can hand out some Blue Sun merchandise or something...)
