Film Screening: Ed Wood's "I Woke Up Early the Day I Died"

Friday Oct 20 at 7 PM - $5 gets you in. Presented by Shiny Object and Fools Foundation. Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St, Sacto. 19th & K - in the alley, in the basement.

Digital projection on to a big screen. Seating is on folding chairs - feel free to bring a pillow or cushion or whatever.

I Woke Up Early the Day I Died: Directly adapted from Ed Wood's unfilmed script with Billy Zane (briefly in nurse drag, no less!), and appearances by Christina Ricci, Nicollette Sheridan, Ron Perlman, Sandra Bernhard, Tippi Hedren, Ann Magnuson, Eartha Kitt, Andrew McCarthy, Bud Cort, Max Perlich, Vampira, Conrad Brooks (an Ed Wood staple!), Karen Black, Summer Phoenix, Tara Reid, John Ritter, Kathy Wood (Ed Wood's wife of many years) and yes, even more! Never released on home video in the US, and with only a couple of screenings here ever! A very, very rare opportunity!!

We are doing regular weekly film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - and most are $5 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to time.

Coming up next week: From the co-creater of Halloween and the Executive Producer of A Nightmare on Elm Street - "Hellbent" - the first gay slasher film! And you've got a chance to win a retail copy of the film on DVD with your paid admission!

Hope to see you there!
