	Microfilmmaker News: December Editor's Choice, Waiting on Alphie, Comes to the Kentucky Theater

by Jeremy Hanke

After receiving our Editor's Choice Award in our December 15th issue, Kevin Hicks' dark gangster comedy, Waiting on Alphie, will be the second feature to be shown at the Kentucky Theater as part of Microfilmmaker's Ultra-Independent Film Weekend.

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 help showcase impressive new directors.

The showings of Waiting on Alphie will be occurring at midnight on Friday, June 2nd, and again on Saturday, June 3rd. Opening for both showings will be Mike Flanagan's amazing suspense-horror film, Oculus, which received a 9.5 in this issue (the highest score to date in our magazine!). 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 will be screening the films for a number of the DJ's at the station, as well as other members of the media, and Microfilmmaker's Kari Ann Morgan will be interviewed about it on the Morning Show with Twitch and Mary Jane.
