Movie Screening

Postby neverwashasbeen » Fri Aug 02, 2013 10:59 am

Hi Everyone,

The manager of our local independent theater, the Camelot Theaters (http://www.camelottheatres.com/), is a avid hiker and he has arranged to bring a special one time screening of MILE... MILE & A HALF, a documentary of the John Muir Trail. The date is Wednesday, September 4th at 7:30 pm and the cost will be $8, which will cover the theater rental. Here is a link to the trailer: http://youtu.be/6bWiD0YC7s8

The theater has real food and adult beverages, so this could be a nice opportunity to get together.
Happy Trails!

That's pretty cool. Dang it though I work in OC and live in LA, neither of which is conveniently placed to get out to PS on a Wednesday night.

Updated information on the movie. It will be $10 per ticket. In order to make this happen, there is a minimum number of tickets that need to be reserved. Here is the link: http://www.tugg.com/events/5115

I hope to see you there.

HJ, the film was fantastic. Of course we all expected the scenery to be spectacular and it was, but the film was also very entertaining. Because it's a very indie film, I don't know how much it will be shown on big screens, which was a bonus, but I believe that it will be available on Bluray and DVD soon. Everyone I talked to after the screening loved it. Several members of the audience are now putting together plans to do the hike, since it was also somewhat inspirational. I certainly recommend it.
Happy Trails!

Yes,
It was a very cool movie, amazing scenery, good personal stories, and a 200% snow year made for some interesting scenes.

You can pre order the movie here, which looks like it will include outtakes & other clips not in the movie we saw. $20.
Btw, it has some good music in it as well.
