One Last Thing big news here in Philly

It's very exciting having One Last Thing featured here in my hometown at the Philadelphia Film Festival next week. Not only that, but the film has local connections. Here is another little item from our local paper:

Cinema and the City

Alex Steyermark's One Last Thing . . . follows the comic lustings of a Marcus Hook teen with cancer (and boasts a costarring turn from Lower Merion High's Gideon Glick)

Marcus Hook is just outside the city limits, by the way, as is Lower Merion. I'll be attending both screenings, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th. Maybe I'll see some of you there!

For those of you who will be attending the screenings in Philly, there will be a Q&A afterwards with:

Director Alex Steyermark
Writer Barry Stringfellow (former Philadelphian)
Actors Gideon Glick (Philadelphian) and Matt Bush

I just returned from a film at the Prince Music Theatre and I'm very excited about seeing One Last Thing there on Saturday night. Imagine the most plush theatre on Broadway in New York -- thick plush carpeting, brass and glitter and a bar in the lobby, big comfortable seats, and perfect sight lines, with a giant screen like the old movie palaces.

It's an old restored movie theatre which has been used for musicals and live theatre. They spent millions on it and it's just spectacular.

You seem to know a lot about this film. Ironically, I know nothing about it and I've lived in Marcus Hook for the past 19 years. You wouldn't happen to know what streets they shot on, would you? I'm quite curious.

I believe it was 13 or 291, whichever one runs along the river. Interiors were shot in New York.

What a bogus description: "comic lustings of a Marcus Hook teen".
The writer either didn't see the film, or didn't have the ability to understand it.
