I've got your Mission Friday night adventure all laid out. Some Mission filmmakers made a film in the Mission (and Wyoming) and are premiering it tonight at an oldschool Mission cinema, and then they're throwing an afterparty at a Mission warehouse. “The Advice Of Strangers” is a stylish film about a starry-eyed lover on a drunken search for a girl after an New Years Eve party. The film was made on an $80,000 grant, so it looks decidedly unshitty, combining both gleaming color and epic high-contrast B&W.
Watch the trailer and buy discounted $5 tickets here on their Kickstarter. You'll get admission ito the premier at The Victoria Theatre on 16th between Mission and Van Ness, as well as a swanky afterparty nearby. Tickets are also available at the door, but bigger donations net you photographs from local artiste Alex Greenburg.
A typical 3-D film costs you $20 that goes directly up the nose of some ass-hat in Hollywood. For much cheaper you get a full night of homegrown entertainment, and you get to keep that money in town.
People talk a lot about the local art scene. Well here it is. Make it date night, roll up with your bros, or wear your black film buff turtleneck and go by yourself.
Slideshows and short films start at 7:30pm before the feature. Facebook Event with details here. And that ticket link again.

I’m in love with everything about this. I have conflicting plans this evenig, so I hope they continue to show the film following tonight.
There’s something about walking/talking love stories in urban settings that drives me wild (Before Sunrise, Quiet Ciry, Annie Hall)
