Screening of “The Citizen Kane of Bad Movies”

On Tuesday, March 2 at 7:00pm in the Whittenberger Auditorium in the IMU, we will be showing a screening of “The Citizen Kane of Bad Movies” entitled The Room. It has been called one of the worst movies ever made, from cinematography, to sound, to set, and most importantly terrible script writing and terrible acting. The film was independently produced by a man named Tommy Wiseau who is also the films screenwriter, director, and star. After the film’s screening, Mr. Wiseau will be giving a lecture and holding a question and answering session with students. I believe this is a unique opportunity to take advantage of, as often times there is not a focus placed on how NOT to act, direct, or write. The film and discussion is free to all students with a valid ID and $5 for the public and those without an ID. It would be greatly appreciated if you could please pass this email along to the instructors in the CMCL department and other film professors who could inform their students of this truly one-of-a-kind opportunity. It is a rare chance to have someone so involved with the making of a film to come and talk to students about the creative process of making a film. Especially a filmmaker whose film is starting to gain a cult following.
