Hi!
My name is Julia and I work with Rooftop Films (www.rooftopfilms.com), a summer film series dedicated to showcasing new, independent films and emerging bands in unique outdoor locations. I thought you might be interested in one of our upcoming programs. This Saturday, June 6th, at 8pm we will be holding a screening of Stingray Sam in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Stringray Sam tells a story of the future, based on themes of modern society, with an old-fashioned sensibility borrowing on the traditions of sci-fi, westerns, singing cowboy serials and musicals of
classic American film. I hope you can include it in Cinema Beacon Blog this week!
