"The Off Hours" closes out the 2011 Tacoma Film Festival
YOUR DAILY GUIDE TO THE 2011 TACOMA FILM FESTIVAL >>>
Tonight The Grand Cinema folks will sweep the popcorn, scrap the gum off the seats and flick the lights off on another Tacoma Film Festival. Finishing out its sixth year, The Grand decided to go out with a Pacific Northwest bang. The closing film will be Seattle filmmaker Megan Griffiths's The Off Hours, the story of a 20-something waitress unsure of what she wants out of life but increasingly certain that the answer will not come from the lonesome derelicts that populate her small joyless world.
Before Griffiths's flick, another Pacific Northwest filmmaker Kristi L. Simkins will screen her three-minute Something Special about a young war veteran exploring the wilds of New Zealand to fulfill the last wish of a close friend who died in combat.
Both filmmakers will be in the house tonight.
Thursday, Oct. 13, 6:30 p.m., $15-$18
The Grand Cinema, 606 S. Fawcett Ave., Tacoma
252.593.4474

I tried being a PA on this film a while back, so happy to see it made and hitting the festivals. I'll be there!
