One of the most vivid memories of my childhood was the many summer trips to Rocky Point Amusement Park in Warwick RI.

Hello folks,

Just wanted to remind y'all that the last MassBay Film Festival screening of
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" creator John Cameron Mitchell's controversial,
not-for-the-kiddies "Shortbus" is tonight at Clark University's Jefferson
320 (950 Main Street) at 10:00pm. Through a special arrangement with CUFS,
we can offer all Clark students FREE ADMISSION.

Tickets for all films can be purchased at the door.

Thanks to everyone who has turned out to support us this year. One week off
until we start planning the 3rd Annual MassBay Film Festival, October 19-28,
2007!

Cheers,
Rob

Duncan and myself met with MassBay Film Festival super
producer Rob Newton the other night for a bit of a brain storming session and as it turns out one of the projects he has cooking as a lead in to this falls festival is a run of Monday night movies at the world famous Ralph's Diner, in Worcester.
Admission is just $5.00, with proceeds to benefit The MassBay Film Project.

Here's a round down of some of Rob's upcoming features.
