Beautiful Losers @ The Newport Beach Film Festival
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
This coming Thursday, May 1st marks the return of Beautiful Losers to California after it’s initial run of film festivals including it’s world premiere at South By Southwest in Austin, TX. Since that special week in March, the film has made it’s way to New York for an AIGA screening (professional association for design), and to Toronto for it’s Canadian Premiere at the Hot Docs Film Festival.
The Newport Beach Film Festival is next in line as they have named Beautiful Losers the closing film as the centerpiece of their Closing Night Gala celebration. The movie screens this Thursday, May 1st in Newport Beach at 8pm. General admission tickets are still available for $15 with show and reception tickets priced at $65. I imagine this screening will be quite packed with Orange County being the home of Ed Templeton, Toy Machine, and the legions of skateboarding fans as well.
We’re not 100% certain yet when the film will be making it’s theatrical premieres across the country so this may be your last chance to see the film in Southern California for a while. Unfortunately I’ll still be out of the country but I hope you can make it as this is a homecoming of sorts and sure to be good times.
Other upcoming screenings of the film include:
Friday, May 2nd at 7 and 9:30pm at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN featuring discussions with Chris Johnason and his lovely wife Jo Jackson, along with the director of the film Aaron Rose.
Saturday, May 3rd at 5pm at the Maryland Film Festival.
