AMC has been having casual get togethers over the last few Fridays and this is a variation on that theme. A few of us will be meeting to watch this film tonight at 7 (meeting about 6:45 in the Alamo Drafthouse lobby, which is best accessed through the north west side of the street in front of the renovated theater). All are welcome. miguel Subject: ECHO Special Event Email not displaying correctly?

This is an exciting weekend for movie lovers! Our local favorite, Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar, will be showing The Overnighters, and this film is sure to leave quite an impression. The Overnighters is a modern-day Grapes of Wrath, award-winning documentary that provides an intimate portrait of job-seekers desperately chasing the broken American Dream to the tiny oil boom town of Williston, North Dakota. With the town lacking the infrastructure to house the overflow of migrants, a local pastor starts the controversial "overnighters" program, allowing down-and-out workers a place to sleep at the church. His well-meaning project immediately runs into resistance with his community, forcing the clergyman to make a decision which leads to profound consequences that he never imagined. Tim League, Founder and CEO of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and ECHO Board Member stated, "I couldn't stop thinking about this movie and the layered onion of challenging themes it explores. I became something of an evangelist for the film, telling all my friends to see it. Most of that impulse was that I just wanted to discuss and debate it with people who had watched the film. Shortly thereafter we acquired the film for distribution." Alamo Drafthouse will be contributing 10% of all ticket sales to ECHO to help promote Permanent Supportive Housing and 10% of food and beverage sales to Front Steps. So grab some friends and family and show your support for ending homelessness! Please see below for more information about this weekend's special events, show times, tickets, and film trailer.
