Beanywood, Imagine News, Image Icon Entertainment and Midnight Chimes Productions, are teaming to bring one of the best known movie directors in the New England-area to Boston. On May 18th, Michael Corrente is releasing his new Alec Baldwin-starring film "Brooklyn Rules" in New York, Boston, and LA. The movie as many of you known also stars Freddie Prinze Jr and was written by the author of the Sopranos, Terence Winter. We're bringing Michael Corrente to join us on Sat, May 19th, after the first showing where you'll have the chance to connect, have a Q/A with its star director, have fun, and meet other great people. We're also providing discount tickets to watch the film in either opening location... the West Newton Cinema and/or Kendall Square.

Aside from this being a unique opportunity, by providing a very strong show for the opening weekend (and it's the opening weekend that matters) we can have an impact in increasing the sale numbers and pushing the film closer towards national and international distribution. This is the major way in which Independent Films can reach broad audiences, and amazingly enough you can have a great impact by just going to the movie at the right time. You can have an even bigger impact by spreading the word about this film release, discounts, party, etc. with some of your good buddies.

Meet and Greet/After party details:
