2008 Season to include the director and producer of the movie "Sweet Land"



Hi Lawnchair Theater Fans & Friends,

Pam and I have begun work on our 2008 movie season and we've got some exciting special guests lined up.  

For starters, the director and producer of the movie Sweet Land, Ali Selim and Tom Lieberman will be joining us July 26th for some Q & A before we show the movie.  (We also hope to invite as many of the "locals" who were part of the cast and crew of this fine film as we can track down.)  

Also, local documentarian, Dawn Mikkelson, will be screening her celebrated documentary Green Green Water August 6th. She's heading off to China this spring to continue shooting on her newest documentary about Northwest Airlines, entitled The Red Tail.  Her hope is to have some footage from that project to share with us in August. 

We're also trying to coax movie critic, Chris Hewitt of the St. Paul Pioneer Press to honor us with his presence again this year.  

Not sure about what all we'll be showing this spring and summer. We know we do plan to show one of our favorites of last year, Once.  There have also been requests for Across the Universe. 

If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know!
