UP, UP, AND AWAY Denver Premiere Party / Burritocon XXI

The Tiny Cinema returns to its Colorado roots!

The TINY CINEMA: Dr. Davey B. Gravey, a jovial, time-travelling usher/projectionist/accompanist, screens short, silent Super 8 films and plays live music accompaniment in the tradition of pre-talkie cinema, but with modern musical sounds that breathe fresh emotional life into the old styling. It's experiential film performance art that you kinda just have to try to fully understand it.

This event is celebrating the Denver premiere of a new original Tiny Movie made especially for the Tiny Cinema, entitled UP, UP AND AWAY. The film was shot on (and will be projected on) Super 8 Ektachrome film. Dr. Gravey will be cycling people through the Tiny Cinema to experience the film in small groups.

But don't worry, this event will also be a BURRITOCON. Evian will be back in the kitchen making some sweet, sweet burrit treats. And there'll be a Q&A panel discussion with the filmmaker as well as some of the cast and crew members from the production.

SYNOPSIS
UP, UP AND AWAY tells the story of a magical Bard that uses the musical power of his bass guitar to fuel his hot air balloon. He's on a mythical quest in pursuit of a legendary object known as The Harmonic Amplifier, so that he may ascend in his balloon to a place known as the Rainbow Realm. But fate may have other things in store for this magical Balloon Bard after he meets a beautiful and grounded flute-playing Busker...
