Good news. They're looking for a Dec. release date!

Congratulations to Mr. McKay for following his dream & for his "never say die" persistence. Despite what most of his interviewees predicted would be a documentary that couldn't be done...he did it.

Am waiting with baited breath for what Rick said would be a series!

If the show at the Angelika & Sutton extends, RUN, DON'T WALK!

Rick McKay grew up in Beech Grove, IN which is not terribly far from where I live. It gives a kid hope I tells ya! I am really excited for this documentary to come out. Maybe he'd have a special screening in Indiana. Well maybe not, but a guy can wish.

Will this ever be shown in any other cities? Say, Los Angeles? I mean, we normally get all the so-called "artsy" films, and I want this one to come out here. Sorry to sound whiny, but this is like orgasmic film.

It's scheduled to open in LA on July 2nd.

Margo, where did you find the release schedule? Do you know when it opens in DC? I can't wait to see it in the theater again!

IMDB only has release dates for NY & LA, so far. It's apparently been doing well at the box office here, so more dates might be forthcoming. I think Rick McKay has a website for the film -- see if you can find the link for it in one of the other threads.

Margo, thank you bunches! I was afraid I'd have to visit my brother or something in NY to see it.

I have e'd him re Toronto & he responded favourably but did not have a date. I really hope he can get it listed for the Sept Film Fest & open after. That would send it to the moon & back!

That's very odd it's opening at such varried times in different cities, especially since they are looking at a Christmas release for the dvd.

Perhaps McKay only has a limited number of prints. Each print is very expensive for an independent company to have made and so it's not unusual to have this kind of release schedule for a low budget film in order to keep costs down (I can remember Margaret Cho sheparding what was at one time the ONLY print of "I'm The One That I Want" around the country).

[Matt_G]

Posted: 6/21/04 at 4:24pm

No, I understand that. But for a movie that's gotten so much praise as this, you'd think the studio would invest in more prints to send around the country.

Here in NYC, Rick has been taxi-ing back & forth in the eve's btwn the 2 theatres for Q&A's after the evening screenings. I'm wondering if this may account for the scheduling in other cities. Maybe he's planning on making other screenings for Q&A's.

I wonder which theaters will show it in DC if they really only have a limited number of prints then maybe I'll have go to a different indie theater.

broadway geek, I'm sure they'll probably show it at Landmark E Street.
