The director and a star from a movie filmed throughout the St. Joseph and Savannah area will return next month for a special one-night screening.
Director Matthew Toronto and co-leading actress Kylee Levien will come to the Trail Theatre on December 4th for a meet and greet and a Q and A session to go along with the screening of ‘A ChrisMystery’.
St. Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau spokesperson Christian Mengel says the event came to life thanks to someone local who worked on the film
“We had somebody who was local to the region on the crew that said hey I’m still in contact with some of the people in the LA area that said they would be willing to come back for a showing,” Mengel tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. “So, naturally we were like what’s their schedule, what’s it look like? And so December 4th was the day that seemed to work for the director and Kylee.”
Mengel says people from the movie coming back is a great opportunity, because while they are here, they don’t get much of a chance to experience the town.
“This is an opportunity for them to come back on their own time, on their own schedule, kind of relax and just have conversations with people who maybe were directly involved either as crew in the region or were extras or had property that was part of the film, maybe offered up their car or their home,” Mengel explains.
Tickets to the screening are $5 and can be purchased online or at the door, while available. The meet and greet will begin at 6:30pm with the screening at 7.
Mengel says there will also be an opportunity for people to ask questions about the film
“This is an opportunity for them in the room to basically give you that off the wall detail of now here’s exactly where we filmed or what it was like on this day, you get those kind of special moments and details that you otherwise wouldn’t get,” Mengel says.
The question-and-answer session, hosted by Bob Schultz will follow the movie.
The movie is available to view currently on Prime Video. A trailer is also available on YouTube.
