Amarillo Heist, a thirty-minute crime drama set in 1989 in the Texas Panhandle, will be having its Borger TX premiere at the historic Morley Theater on Saturday August 22nd at 2pm!
The Morley, a beautiful vintage-style movie theater built in 1947, is a special place because it’s one of the few remaining theaters in the country to still have balcony seating, à la movie palaces from the days of yore. The Grande Auditorium, where the film will be screened, also features one of the largest screens in the Texas Panhandle.
As always, the screening will be preceded by our ultra-rad 80’s trivia video and followed by a Q&A with myself and the cast. It’s a huge honor for my little indie film to be screened at this historic theater. You’re all invited if you’re up for the trek to Borger! Oh, and it’s FREE, with no ticket required, just show up!
