@HarborTheater booking department is advised to program an Ayn Rand film festival, with new Atlas Shrugged movie leading lineup.

I love how our Lakeside movie house can program freely. Sorry about missing What's Organic about Organic this weekend, a fundraiser for our pocket park. I'll do my bit, somehow. Another Year featured an allotment garden, quite like a pocket park. Muskegon is leading in the pocket park category, too, including the McLaughlin Pocket Park and the Monet Park downtown. But this just proves how tightly connected our movie house is to our community.

 

I know the Harbor has a slight perception as being a liberal movie house, but as far as I can see, change the film and change the audience and you change the context. The Harbor is really a thoughtful movie house. There's no bounds on what can be shown on the screen, subject to dictates of good taste. After all, Lakeside is a great family community and is managed by Mom and Pop and daughter. Children love to go with aunts and uncles to the dollar young people films. Since we can do anything, tastefully, with our movie house, I propose an Ayn Rand film festival, with the new Atlas Shrugged movie as a leading feature.

 

I guess it's being distributed by a small distributor in Salt Lake City and the filmmaker is pushing it through the system with his own money. But he's hoping for a Mel Gibson  "The Passion of the Christ" blockbuster, taking steps toward viral success. Imagine, Ayn Rand as an underdog.

 

Here's one filmmaker that will show up for the screening: John Aglialoro

The Harbor Theater has a strategy for organic growth of audience:

I understand Steve Gunn of the Education Action Group is a great friend of the Pelto Family. Finally, programming Gunn can promote with his prodigious writing skills:

The Education Action Group is promoting a movie, too. Kids Aren't Cars. Well, I would like to see it locally.

This film house is free thinking enough to harbor any political philosophy. The film I don't want to see. The Peltos Shrugged.
