S..T..O..N..E

For a town geographically removed from movie making hubs New York and LA, Winston-Salem has its fair share of connections to the industry. In our short time being open we’ve been lucky enough to screen movies like Wesley, Burzynski, and Get Low for full theatrical runs. But if you’ve been to a/perture chances are you’ve shared an armrest with the person responsible for scribing the film we’re opening tomorrow. Angus MacLachlan gets to show his latest work Stone in his hometown and we’re proud to be the ones showing it.

Normally I’d try to arrange some sort of cutesy Q&A for the blog, but Angus has already done us one better and offered to take your questions himself, this Friday at 8pm and again on Saturday at 5:30pm! Here’s where I’ll offer my advice on interviewing, whether you want to hear it or not. The most important thing (besides seeing the movie) is doing your homework. I’ve cliff notes’ed some recent articles and reviews below for your benefit. After reading that last sentence, my third piece of advice would be to not try to make nouns verbs when asking a question. Tickets are already going fast for these showings, but if you can’t make it to one of the Q&A sessions, you owe it to yourself to see this movie anyway. Who knows, next time you come see a movie you might have to step over Angus to get to your favorite seat, and what better time to ask him where his talent comes from to be able to write two scripts that have helped some leading ladies become even more relevant in the film world (Amy Adams for Junebug and Milla Jovovich in Stone). Never mind the whole working with DeNiro and Ed Norton thing. Trailer and links below:
