Chicago Screening of Silver & Gold

Time: Wednesday, December 15 · 7:00pm - 11:00pm

Location: 1543 West Division Street Chicago, IL 60642

Created By Jaisen Ehas, Micheal J Shaw, Jeremy Scheuch, Caitlin Garibaldi, Victoria Floro, Chris Batte

A SNEAK PEEK FOR AGAU CAST, CREW AND FRIENDS

Cinemosity Pictures presents an exclusive sneak peek of AgAu (tmfka Silver & Gold), a darkly comic and provocative debut from writer/director Jaisen Ehas. The film captures a sexy holiday tryst between two destructive Chicagoans braving quarter-life crises during a bleak winter in George W. Bush's second presidential term.

Young love, conflicting American values, familial struggles, pol...itical correctness and debauchery are among the fascinations that drive AgAu's button-pushing perspective. The film is carried by lead actors KC Haywood and Victoria Floro. Musician Haywood is magnetic in his first film performance, displaying equal parts natural talent and earnest insight. Tragically, due to Haywood's sudden death in 2008, this performance must also stand as a final memento and lasting memorial to an extraordinary person and entertainer.

Jaisen is submitting AgAu to SXSW and TRIBECA film festivals this week. While the official premiere of the fully completed and post-produced film will be this spring, it is a holiday film, so we are taking this opportunity to screen the submission cut here in wintry Chicago as a thank you to everyone who has contributed to the final project.

The debut private screening will be Wednesday, December 15th from 7pm - 11pm at the Chopin Theatre at the intersection of Ashland/Milwaukee & Division. Admission is free. Receptions before and after the screening will feature a cash bar and hors d'oeuvres.

This is a 100 person private event so RSVP IS A MUST. To guarantee your seat in the theatre, send an email to AgAusneakpreview@gmail.com including your name and the name of up to one guest. You will be contacted by Monday the 13th with final confirmation.

*** YOU MUST RSVP TO AgAusneakpreview@gmail.com, NOT TO FACEBOOK EVENT ***

Thanks and see you there!

Screening of Left Field the Movie

August 19 · 7:00pm - 8:30pm
former Hillside Baptist Church
147 S. Hillside
Wichita, KS

A documentary was being filmed by two Kansas film makers on the phenomenon of adult kickball in Chicago, IL. KC Haywood and his fiance', Sarah Hart, were two of the main characters in this film. In fact, they were nearing the end of filming when on a late summer night in June of 2008, KC fell from their apartment building while attempting to scale the wall into their locked apartment. He was rushed to the hospital and though ...he fought valiantly to stay with us, on June 28th he passed away. It was at this point that the movie, Left Field, took an immediate change in direction. Though still focused on the game of kickball and all of the antics these rebel players brought to the game, it also highlights the relationships of this close knit group of friends and family, and the loss of their friend KC. It's a lighthearted look at life, love and loss.

The above comments were taken from a posting by KC's aunt, Chris Kaegi-Stephens. Since that time, thanks to Chris, other events have occurred. The Derby Informer printed a wonderful article, Wednesday, August 4th, http://www.derbyinformer.com/news/news.htm, and an upcoming article in the Wichita Eagle paper is planned.

Stop by the Donut Whole, 1720 East Douglas Avenue, before the movie for coffee and chatting, and the after party at Lucky's, 1217 East Douglas Avenue, Wichita.

If you know of places to put posters, please let me know.

$10 general admission, $8 student/senior/military

Left Field DVDs will be available at the screening for $20 or online at www.leftfieldthemovie.com.

Father's Day has come and gone.

KC and I would speak occassionally over the phone throughout the year, but we always talked on Father's Day.

He was sorely missed on Mother's Day.

KC fell, June 14th, the day before Father's Day, 2008. We left for Chicago early Sunday morning to spend his last 2 weeks with him.

We occassionally get calls from friends that were able to catch Left Field The Movie, at film festivals in their city or near them. If you get a chance, you may want to see it. It will be showing in Wichita at the former Hillside Baptist Church, 147 S. Hillside on Thursday, August 19th at 7 pm. $10 General Admission, $8 Student/Senior/Military.

It was really great to see Sarah and Jenny as well as our Chicago and Wichita friends at Ike's and Emilie's Wedding.

We miss our son.

Thank you for remembering him and keeping him in your thoughts.

Greg.
