Lyric Cinema Cafe shows local films

I screened "La Quinceañera" on Jan. 22nd at the Lyric Cinema Cafe in Fort Collins along with fellow Boulder filmmakers and friends John Tweedy and Beret Strong who showed their film "Saya: Dance and Survival in an Afro-Bolivian."

The Lyric Cinema is a great little independent theater that screens great films in Fort Collins in a fun and intimate atmosphere. Run by Ben and Josh, Patrons can buy food, drink, beer, and wine at the venue and the theaters themselves are equipted with theater style seating as well as comfy couches. One of the great things the theater offers is Screenings with local filmmakers on a monthly basis. The relationship between local theaters and filmmakers is an important part in build a film community in a region. This is a great situation for the filmmaker to screen work in fun setting. the film looked and sounded great and they allowed us to sell our DVDs as well. We were in the small theater which held about 45 people and had about 35 come to the screening. It was a diverse mix of people, independent film buffs, anthropologists from CSU and UNC, friends, family, Folks from Bolivia and Mexico and many others. After the film we had a short Q&A and then were able to talk one on one with many of the guests which is a real highlight.
