DOWNERS GROVE marketing material
Chapman students: enjoy an afternoon break this Saturday, with a special pre-release presentation of the new film
The Curse of
Downers Grove. 
And as if one screening wasn’t enough, we’ll actually be having two!  How’s that for accommodating?

Yep, MPE, Bystander Films, and Odd Entertainment invite you (and a guest) to a special screening of: THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE, based on the novel of the same name, starring Kevin Zegers.  Sorry, non-Chapman folks; this screening is only open to students enrolled at Chapman.

This is an exclusive opportunity for you to see the film before it releases in theaters! Join us this Saturday, February 22, at either 1pm or 3:30pm.

A bit more about the film:

The haunting and tender story of Chrissie Swanson, a paranoid high school senior for whom graduating has become a matter of life or death. She’s an unusual girl in an ordinary town. Her mother’s sex life is overshadowing her own; her brother is aboard his own private Enterprise, slipping into one black hole after another; her best friend is hornier than a Prince song; leaving her eccentric grandmother as the only source of wisdom in a rapid downward spiral. As Chrissie tries to take control of the events that shape her life, she finds the events beginning to take control of her, until she is finally cornered by choices with everlasting consequences. Full of humor, wit, and the sacrilegious worldview of a savvy teenager, Downers Grove paints a searing portrait of the American dream in all its broken glory.
