The show must go on!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

The show must go on!  Director Mike Shiley said as he entered Seattle’s ACT theatre last night.   A very small audience gathered to screen his film Inside Iraq: The Untold Stories http://www.indieflix.com/Films/InsideIraqTheUntoldStories.

Mike has a great story to tell on the making of the film and it was a fun film for us to promote. We had a very short window of time leading up to the launch of the Red Carpet screening series to get the word out about this event and in some ways we could have been more efficient. I realize now that we need a lot more lead-time and we need to remind all parties involved to push! Push! Push!

The film and the venue were both first class. Those that did attend had a great evening.  I’m looking forward to tonight’s screening. Promoting hard today. Hope to see a much bigger turn out tonight at Seattle’s Act Theatre, 7th & Union 7pm – join us for drinks and meet the filmmaker.   Thank you to the IndieFlix team for being there in full force and making it a good evening.

CRASHING THE WAR IN IRAQ

Join us for drinks and meet the filmmaker.

Meet filmmaker, Mike Shiley, who with no media or military experience:
*Made a fake ABC News press pass at Kinko’s
*Rented a bullet-proof vest
*Flew to Iraq on frequent flier miles
*Traveled unarmed through Iraq for two months reporting what the media ignores
*Awarded  two civilian combat medals

A film about the war the military somehow never censored…
Shiley’s 84-minute documentary, Inside Iraq:  The Untold Stories is not your typical film on Iraq.
