Local Moving Screening: "Chasing the Unicorn"

This upcoming Wednesday at Motorco Music Hall, come witness a screening of Chasing the Unicorn, the feature length film by local writer and filmmaker M. Nostasia DeRobertis.

Chasing the Unicorn is a heartfelt comedy starring local actors Meredith Sause and Jay O'berski, with an original score by Brandon Whitesell.

Its soundtrack features Cassis Orange, Juan Huevos, Gray Young, Old Bricks, Vaughn Aed, Lake Inferior, Schooner, Midtown Dickens, Birds and Arrows, You And Your Effects, Wind and Willow, Simple, Beloved Binge, Graveyard Fields, Jen Richelson, and Free Electric State.

The film's premier was well received by a packed house at Motorco, and I expect the 2nd screening to be more of the same. You can buy $6 advanced tickets here.
