Haven’t you always wanted to attend the premier first-time showing of a film? Wouldn’t it be awesome to attend something Hollywood-esque right here in the Midwest?
Well, now is your chance! Coming to Sioux City right before the opening of RAGBRAI 2010 is the special first-time screen viewing of an epic feature-length documentary – “A Million Spokes”.
Shot in July of 2009, “A Million Spokes” was filmed during the largest and oldest bicycle touring event in the world. An annual bicycle ride, RAGBRAI, takes place in Iowa over seven days in July where thousands of bicyclists descend on the state to partake in an adventure that is singular in its ability to attract some of the most unique people you will ever encounter. Prepare to explore Iowa first-hand with the riders of RAGBRAI as we join them and meet the characters that we follow in “A Million Spokes.”
The film’s director, Varda Hardy, producers, Ken Gorrell and Talia Rodriguez-Shakur, will join many of the characters we meet in the film to screen the project in its first public viewing. As if meeting the film director wasn’t enough, there will also be a number of surprise guests in attendance – including A-list celebrities, film executives and film critics!
This viewing is a fantastic opportunity to meet the film’s director, producers, and many characters from “A Million Spokes” (not to mention the chance to meet the surprise guests!).
This first-time viewing of “A Million Spokes” will be taking place at the Riviera 4 Theatre in Sioux City, IA on July 23rd, 2010 at 5:00pm. The cost to attend this special screening is $25.00. Also, because of all of the special guests going to be in attendance, tickets are limited. If this premier event is for you, be sure to get your tickets right away! Tickets are available online or at the Riviera 4 Theater (714 4th St • Sioux City, IA 51101).
Besides being among the first to see the film and meet the director, your $25 ticket will also score you a free Medium bag of popcorn, a free Medium drink, and entry into a Raffle!
If the viewing on the 23rd doesn’t work into your schedule but you’re still up for seeing “A Million Spokes” then fear not! For the director of the film is providing additional screenings that will be open to the public on July 23rd and 24th, 2010.
Also, there’s a couple of interesting sponsorship opportunities at this event for businesses that want to get noticed. If you’re interested, these opportunities provide everything a business could want: from Company name and brands on all media and at the opening of the screening to VIP Movie passes. There are several packages available to tailor to your business’s needs. Just call Eric Hilsabeck (712-898-8484) or Susan Gorrell (319-795-8487) to get more information on how you can get your company noticed at the feature film event!
Hope you get a chance to see what RAGBRAI is like from the view of some of last year’s unique and very special participants!
