FEBRUARY Features INDEPENDENT SPIRIT movies And Film Fan Event AT REEL ARTS 6!

Starting February 3rd, Reel Arts 6 @ the Crossroads will bring Independent Spirit Award films to Tucson with the Southwest premiere of Tyrannosaur. The directorial debut of actor Paddy Considine is nominated for Best International Film at the Indie Spirit Awards and won several top prizes in the film's home country at the British Independent Film Awards.

 

Tucson's own independent film company, CoyoteMoon Films, is partnering with Reel Arts 6 for this first ever Film Fan Event Feb. 3rd. They will bring their team to talk about the script, the lighting, the directing, the acting, the music and the editing of Tyrannosaur before and after the movie, because Film Fan Events will take a fun look inside the making of a good movie. They will also create an insider preview to the movie at CoyoteMoonFilms.com for the audience.

 

Members of the local Tucson filmmaking community are especially invited to this screening to discuss the art of film in the lobby after the screening. Tyrannosaur stars, Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman, won a Special Jury Prize for acting in 2011 Sundance Film Festival and director Considine won Best Director in World Cinema Dramatic. Coleman won the Best British Actress award from the London Critics Circle Film Awards.

 

In the month of February, Reel Arts 6 is bringing two other films nominated for Independent Spirit Awards, which represents the best in independent film, ranging from commercial releases to first features.  They created a category honoring the first features of directors in honor of the great John Cassavetes.  These films are made for under $500,000 and represent the heart of independent film. 

 

Two of these films will open at Reel Arts 6 in February. Hello Lonesome, written, produced, and directed by Adam Reid, will open on February 17th. Adam Reid is available for interview at any time about his film. The Dynamiter, directed by Matthew Gordon, will open on February 24th.  There is hope that Matthew Gordon will attend a screening after the film opens.

 

Reel Arts 6 @ the Crossroads is the new venue for independent film in Tucson, and the goal is still to bring titles to Tucson that would never have theatrical release, or the opportunity to have a full week run at a theater in Tucson.  With Tyrannosaur, Hello Lonesome, and The Dynamiter, three films will premiere in Tucson in the month of February that truly define what independent film means.
