MANCATTAN - THE PREMIERE!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE PREMIERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello one and all,

Two years and two days after first setting foot in New York City to shoot part of our film, we are finally proud to invite you to the premiere screening of MANCATTAN.

MANCATTAN – INVITIATION ONLY PREMIERE

--- SATURDAY 4th APRIL ---

THE DANCEHOUSE, OXFORD ROAD, MANCHESTER

The Dancehouse have kindly offered to host our film in this amazing building, which was actually a cinema in days of old, and it still retains its original art-deco styling. More importantly, The Dancehouse understands and supports the independent nature of Stuck In A Box Studios and Mancattan itself as the product of many talented people coming together to achieve the seemingly impossible; the creation of our very own feature film.

If it wasn’t for the many people who helped us along the way, we wouldn’t be where we are now, and so this premiere is for those people who have been directly involved and have supported us in any way, shape or form along the way. Due to the independent and self funded nature of the film, we do not yet have a certificate or BBFC rating, and so this invitation is a private screening by INVITATION ONLY.

As much as I would love to throw open the doors for each and every one of you, I am afraid that I am covering the hire of the venue and the technical equipment out of my own pocket. In order to fund this event, I am afraid that I must ask for a £5 donation per person, in return for a formal invite to the screening. This small fee will entitle you to watch our humble feature film, and to join us in the bar for a celebration of our achievement, our love of movies and all things Manchester.

If you would like to come to our Premiere, and to support independent film, then please get a list of names to me, along with the £5 donation, and your names will promptly be added to the list of guests. Be quick, as we already anticipate selling out the entire venue!

**********
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CANNOT TAKE CASH ON THE NIGHT! ALL DONATIONS AND NAMES MUST REACH ME A.S.A.P. – ABSOLUTELY NO LAST MINUTE ENTRY ON THE NIGHT WILL BE PERMITTED FOR LEGAL REASONS.

Please email me at mancwunder@hotmail.com in order to register your names and arrange getting your donations into the fund to guarantee your seats.

If it is easier, then you can use PAYPAL to get your fees to us. Please make out any PAYPAL payments to mancwunder@hotmail.com and don’t forget to include your guest’s names in the Paypal instructions.

I wish it could be a free event, but your £5 will help make this a night to remember, and to give Mancattan and all the people involved the moment in the spotlight that we feel it deserves.
********

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who has supported the film. Your encouragement has always lit our darkest hour, and made sure that we had the audacity, stupidity and courage to see this through to the end. I hope you can be there to celebrate it with us.

Thank you. – Colin Warhurst (on behalf of Phil Drinkwater, Antony O’Hanlon & “Team Mancattan.”)
