SPECIAL NOTE, PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING TICKET: Your eyeballs may burst bloody out of your head when you see our $190 per ticket price point for EACH of these events. Please know this, you’re paying $175 for a limited edition poster by one of the top marquee poster designers in the field of limited edition movie posters (think Mondo level and you’re right) and an after party with food and drink. Then $15 to watch the movie of the poster you’ve just bought on 35mm.
We’ve been told by the organizers that once you find out who the designer is (we can’t announce the designer until much closer to the event when we also reveal the poster design) this event will sell out quick. The designer has actually done the poster design for all three posters. So you may want to purchase your ticket now before it sells out.
Finally, we have to limit purchase of one person per poster to discourage poster assassins from scooping up too many of the limited editions. So if you want to attend with a companion, they need to purchase their ticket on their own as every ticket comes with a limited edition poster. Okay. Whew!

2pm THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994, dir. Frank Darabont, WB, USA, 142mns, 35mm)
Today we hand you your limited edition Shawshank Redemption movie poster designed by (NAME SECRET UNTIL REVEAL BUT PLEASE KNOW THIS DESIGNER IS MONDO LEVEL) and screen Frank Darabont’s and Stephen King’s classic on 35mm!
The Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies that harkens back to a classic Hollywood style of moviemaking that doesn’t really exist anymore. Epic, heart warming, incredibly written, performed, shot, scored, The Shawshank Redemption is everything we want out of a movie and so rarely get.
Based on a novella by Stephen King, the movie tells the story of the friendship of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) and Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman) across two decades in prison. Andy, like so many prisoners, claims his innocence, but Red soon comes to realize that Andy may indeed be innocent of the crime of killing his wife for which he was imprisoned. But because the Prison Warden and Guards have an interest in keeping Andy behind bars, both Andy and Red realize Andy may have to find another way to get out or else remain unjustly imprisoned forever.
Not a hit when it came out, The Shawshank Redemption has since grown to become one of the most beloved movies of the last 30 years. Join us as we screen this wonderful movie on 35mm and you collect your amazing limited edition poster.
Best always,
Craig Hammill
Secret Movie Club Founder.Programmer
