Greetings from London, where we are readying ourselves for a big week ahead at the BFI London Film Festival! The 78 Project Movie screens twice during the coming week, and we can’t wait for these two great opportunities to share the film with our supportive UK friends. But as we traveled across the Atlantic, more screenings were being organized by cool cinemas across America. We want to make sure you have all those dates close at hand so that if there’s a screening at your local theater, you can head over, see The 78 Project Movie, and support the folks in your town who work hard to bring independent movies to the big screen.  So, please take a look at our Sidebar – there are upcoming screenings in New York State, Florida, Vermont, Tennessee, Colorado, New Jersey and Massachusetts!

Also, don’t forget to reserve your copy of The 78 Project Movie Soundtrack on vinyl. It’s available now for pre-order in our shop!

Our month-long Official Theatrical Release Tour of The 78 Project Movie continues today as we hit the road headed south. Over the next week and change we’ll be headed through Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, a nip of Texas, and Illinois to cut records live with amazing musicians and screen the film in theaters.  We’re covering a lot of ground to bring The 78 Project Movie to as many screens as we can in person, in the hopes that we’ll be in one close to you!

The complete tour dates are listed below. We hope we’ll see you at a screening. And if you don’t see one listed in your hometown, request it!

It’s with great excitement that we announce the International Premiere of The 78 Project Movie at the 2014 BFI London Film Festival this October. We couldn’t be happier to be presenting our film at such a prestigious event and in such great cinematic company.

If you’ll be in London October 16-19 and would like to join us there, we’ll be so glad! The 78 Project Movie will screen twice, October 16th at 8:45pm and October 19th at 6:15pm. Tickets are now available through the BFI London Film Festival website. And the festival program includes a beautiful description of the movie.

As we prepare to leave tomorrow for our Official Release Tour, it’s exciting to know that there’s so much more to come. We’re grateful that this journey is always just beginning.

We’re honored to be partnering with Goorin Bros. Hatmakers to present a series of live events at Goorin shops across the country during our official release tour of The 78 Project Movie.

We’ll be kicking off the series with a music-listening event in Chicago on August 16th at the Goorin Brothers Wicker Park shop. Join us there from 2pm-4pm for cocktails, vinyl, video clips and, of course, fantastic hats. It will be an exciting start to our weekend of screenings at Chicago’s Music Box Theater as part of their Summer Music Film Festival.

Throughout September, as we tour The 78 Project Movie in theaters nationwide, we’ll be stopping along the way at Goorin Bros. locations in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, New York, Boston and New Orleans to play our recordings on vinyl and acetate, show video clips, and in some locations even present live musical performances and live record-cuttings.

More details on specific dates of events will be coming soon. In the meantime, take a look at some of Goorin Bros.’ offerings: www.Goorin.com
