Weekend Arts Agenda: Locally Brewed serves up film, comedy, and music February 11 2016
Plus, highly touted multimedia artist Juliana Huxtable brings the party to the Mammal Gallery.
Atlanta filmmakers Joey Molina and Peter Akeley have teamed up to bring Locally Brewed, a film screening showcase, featuring stand-up comedy and live music, to 368 PONCE on Fri., Feb. 12, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Hosted by comedian Dedrick Flynn, the first-time event features 16 original short films by Chuck Ballard, Thomas Bell, Akil Bjorn, Ed Dinzole, John Manfredi, Melissa Moon, Erin Murray, Lev Omelchenko, Max Siciliano, Remington Smith, Pete Though, Adam Waldorf, Wesley Walker, Jen West, and Bruce Williams.
Stick around for the comedy shows, featuring: Ian Aber, Olive Lynch, and William Miracle, and rock out with Atlanta-based band, Cinema Novo (above). Audience members can also enjoy complementary tea from Golda Kombucha.
“We thought it would be a great opportunity for up and coming filmmakers to show their work and have a chance to shout out any upcoming projects,” Molina says. “We also wanted to open up the event to more than just film by having comedians and live music to make it a more fulfilling experience about film and video.”
