Studio A Film Screening "Momma’s Man"

Posted on July 4, 2009 by | Leave a comment

“Momma’s Man”
Thursday, July 16, 7 p.m.
2009 (doors open at 6:30)
LTC Studio, 246 Market st.
During a short business trip to New York, 30-something Mikey pays a visit to his parents’ home and decides never to leave, forsaking all his responsibilities as a husband and new father back in Los Angeles. Written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, this unique independent drama delves into the fear of facing adulthood, the romanticizing of the past and the unwillingness to accept change, regardless of its inevitability.

“Restaurant wrap-up: Building developer John DeAngelis has finally found a noshery to go into the first floor of the American Textile Building. Just in time for the museum’s opening next month, a Greek Italian restaurant will finally replace the long-gone Gazebo Cafe. The owners are from Miami and are applying for a liquor license too.”

Lowell Film Collaborative “Food & Film Series”
Join us for our second film event of the LFC’s “Food & Film” series! Our DTL restaurants need all the support they can get, especially during the winter months. The LFC is doing what they can to help bring folks into downtown restaurants during this time for a little celebrating with dinner and a movie. We’ll set up the old-fashioned tripod screen, fire up the LCD projector, and dim the lights. Instant movie screening magic! And of course we encourage everyone to indulge in food and drink to round out the night. Come support the Lowell Film Collaborative, but most importantly, come support some of our favorite DTL restaurants!Join the Lowell Film Collaborative’s growing e-mail distribution list and we’ll keep you posted on all our upcoming film events! E-mail us at lowellfilmcollaborative@live.com.
Visit the LFC at http://www.lowellfilmcollaborative.org/.
