So, there are a fabulously bearded band of merry sandwich-loving men that have been traveling the country for the greater part of 2+ years, all in the name of love. More specifically, a love of independent film.
Todd Sklar, a Hopkins native, and a fellow Missouri Tiger, leads this gang of misfits around in a white van normally reserved for child abduction and molestation, bringing the joy of limited-release films to theaters across this great country of ours.They’ve even given themselves a name, Range Life Entertainment.
Their words, however, probably sum up their mission better than I ever could.
“Range Life Entertainment takes awesome movies, adds awesome parties, plus awesome filmmakers, and then tours them across America. Why? Because we can. And because we like movies. And because we like America. But mostly because we like you. That’s right, even though we don’t know you, we got a good feeling about it. So come check out a screening, stay for an after-party, and meet your new best friends. Cause we’re eating all your pizza and sleeping on your couch anyways.”
Anyways, their tour comes to an end tonight, here in Minneapolis, at the Trylon, with an after-party hosted by Town Talk Diner. If anyone is even mildly interested in attending, you should drop the “mildly” and just be “interested.”
I’ll be there, will you?
