Atlanta Theater and Independent Filmmaker Team Up to Edu-tain Atlanta
Cinafe 8 Movie Theater and Skinnymen Productions are teaming up to entertain and educate Atlanta on the good, bad, and ugly of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry in Atlanta. This event will feature the movie, Independent Doin' Major Things, which thoroughly addresses the topic at hand. Local celebrity and filmmaker, Hotep aka Hustle Simmons, will be on site to talk about his film and sign autographs.
Atlanta, GA, November 08, 2005 --(PR.com)-- The Cinefe 8 Movie Theater joins multimedia edu-tainment company Skinnymen Productions in their efforts to educate, entertain, and empower Georgia. On Friday, November 18th at the Cinefe 8 Movie Theater, they will host a special world premiere showing of Skinnymen Productions landmark feature-length documentary, Independent Doin’ Major Things.
Independent, Doin’ Major Things has already been compared to Fahrenheit 911 and Jay-Z’s Fade to Black. It captures what filmmaker Hotep refers to as, "The Atlanta Renaissance - the incredible artistic, entrepreneurial and cultural movements taking place in the city known as the Motown of the South." This documentary is receiving attention nation-wide as it was submitted to the world-renowned 2006 Sundance Film Festival, many local film festivlas, and featured in Jamie Foxx’s Lafapalooza Film Festival.
The success of Independent, Doin’ Major Things is due to its strong appeal to the general public. Regardless of age, gender, background or profession, this film seems to invigorate the audience with the “independent spirit”, converting viewers into “do-ers”. Hotep and Cinefe 8 owner, Lee May look forward to inviting local youth/ teen groups, collegiate and professional organizations to the daily screenings at the newly renovated theater.
In the tradition of giving thanks, on the evening of Thursday, November 24th, Skinnymen Productions will donate a portion of the ticket sales to non-profit organizations, Youth Media Blitz and Forme Program. The Youth Media Blitz and Forme Program are youth centered organizations that focus on education and entrepreneurialism in the arts and media.
The Cinefe 8 Movie Theater is located in Lithonia, GA, on the corner of Covington Hwy and Panola Rd. The showings of Independent, Doin’ Major Things will continue to run daily at 7pm for a week beginning with the world premiere on Friday, November 18th and ending on Thanksgiving evening. At the week’s conclusion, Skinnymen Productions and Cinefe 8 will have successfully brought the Atlanta metro area together, for 7 days of edu-tainment and giving back to this amazing city.
