Ragtag premiere of LIT

My friend and bowling buddy, Brian Maurer, is a budding film director. He recently wrote, directed and produced his first full-length feature film. The premiere was at the Ragtag in Columbia, Mo. He was hoping that there would be a large enough crowd that he wouldn't be embarrassed. In fact, the movie sold out, and they had to turn people away!

The movie, LIT, was produced on a "Velcro" budget, as Brian likes to say, which is apparently smaller than a shoestring budget. Everything was done on the cheap. Actors and crew came from the local community theatre and students at the university. The music in the film was created by Jake Oakes.

I enjoyed the movie and I'm proud to say I got the first autographed DVD.
