TO GILLIAN ON HER 37TH BIRTHDAY

On the second anniversary of his wife Gillian’s death, David invites Gillian’s sister Esther and her husband Paul to stay for the weekend. Esther insists on bringing a female friend named Kevin in whom she hopes David will become romantically interested. David, however, ignores her in proceeding with a ritualistic celebration of Gillian’s birthday, communicating with his dead wife’s spirit and unwittingly neglecting his teenage daughter Rachel. Tickets range anywhere from free-$25.

****Special Film Event****

Attention All Stephen King Fans: Meet the Writer & Director of the film: You Can't Kill Stephen King

A campy feature-length horror film brought to you by Monroe Mann and Ronnie Khalil about a group of friends who make a clueless and ill-fated decision to visit the lake where Stephen King lives. Mr. Mann is an alum of FA and made this horror/comedy film with other FA staff and alum in Lovell last summer. The film premiered at the LA Film Festival in Lewiston, Maine where it won the People's Choice Award - Best Feature Film! It was recently picked up by Camelot Entertainment Group in Los Angeles, an agency that took the film to the Cannes Film Market this past May in France. After a successful run at Cannes, Camelot is now negotiating both worldwide and domestic distribution deals for the film, a film which Mr. King unofficially has been endorsing via his website, StephenKing.com. Mr. Mann will be on hand after the screening for an audience Q&A about the film and the film making process. Written by Monroe Mann, Ronnie Khalil, & Bob Madia. Directed by Monroe Mann, Ronnie Khalil, and Jorge Valdes-Iga. More information at: www.cantkillking.com. NOTE: All of Mr. Mann and Mr. Khalil's profits from this screening's ticket sales will be forwarded in its entirety directly to the Kezar Lake Watershed Association
