Microfilmmaker News:
Editor's Choice, Livelihood, Comes to the Kentucky Theater

by Jeremy Hanke

After receiving a 9.1 in our February 15th issue (which is the highest score for a film to date), Ryan Graham's comic masterpiece, Livelihood, will be the first feature to be shown at the Kentucky Theater, our flagship theater for ultra-independent theatrical distribution. Located in Lexington, the second largest city in Kentucky, the Kentucky Theater has been a champion of arts and Independent film for eighty-four years now and is pleased to work with Microfilmmaker Magazine to get the word out about impressive new directors.

The premiere of Livelihood as part of Microfilmmaker's new Ultra-Independent Film Weekend will be occurring at midnight on Friday, May 5th, and again on Saturday, May 6th. Opening for both showings will be Alex Ferrari's critically-acclaimed action short film, Broken. For folks living in or coming up to the Lexington area who wish to attend, tickets are only $5 and can be purchased at the door or by calling (859) 231-6997 after 4 PM. (For directions or other information, go to the Kentucky Theater Website.)

To make sure that the entire city of Lexington is hyped about the upcoming premiere, Microfilmmaker has teamed up with Z-Rock 103, Lexington's most popular rock station. We've already screened the films for a number of the DJ's at the station and Microfilmmaker's Kari Ann Morgan will be interviewed about it on the Morning Show with Twitch and Mary Jane on April 27th.

Additionally, WKYT, Lexington's CBS affiliate, will be showcasing a special video interview with Kari Ann Morgan, as well as the trailer for Livelihood, on their Moonlight Café on April 28th.

Selected members of the cast and crew, including the director, his co-writer, and the executive producer, will be driving down from Baltimore, MD to join in on all the excitement.
