LOCATION: The Secret Movie Club Theater, 1917 Bay Street, 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90021

7:30pm THE GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X (2012, dir. Paul Bunnell, USA, 106mns, 35mm)
SPECIAL NOTE: This is an exciting opportunity to talk with filmmaker Paul Bunnell who got his film made and got it shot on Kodak’s black and white stock. Mr. Bunnell will join us for a Q&A following the screening of the movie.
Every now and then, we’re honored and excited to welcome an indie moviemaker into the Secret Movie Club Theater who struggled against the odds to get an adventurous, singular, ambitious movie made.
Today we welcome co-writer/director Paul Bunnell to the theater to discuss his singular The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, a comedy, sci-fi, retro musical complete with aliens, zombies, songs, dance numbers, and the last film ever to be shot on Kodak’s black and white plus X stock.
A love letter to the drive-in Roger Corman and Sam Arkoff sci-fi and/or juvenile delinquent rock and roll exploitation classics of the 1950’s and 1960’s, Johnny X is a blast.
Join us for this rare chance to talk to a filmmaker in person about how they got their movie made.
Best always,
Craig Hammill
Secret Movie Club Founder.Programmer
*Please note that though we strive to always show titles on 35mm film if advertised, we may have to screen digitally if the print we receive is in such bad shape or if we don't receive the print in time because of a shipping delay. We will do our best to alert the audience. When this does occur, we will offer each ticket holder who chooses not to attend a complimentary ticket to a future event in exchange. (Disclaimer: Good for 90 days – Future screening must have available tickets, cannot be a fundraiser, and must be comparably priced)
