A Powerful Noise Theatrical Event, March 5

I will be knee-deep in our annual fundraiser on March 5, but I got an event invite on Facebook that I thought you should know about. This is from Tom Capello about his fim A Powerful Noise:

As many of you know, my documentary feature debut, A Powerful Noise, premiered at Tribeca last year. Now everyone will have a chance to see it March 5, 2009 for one night only as we roll the film out to 450 theaters. I know what you are thinking, “But Tom, this is a documentary without Al Gore in it. How could it possibly be in 450 theaters?” Well, it has been a long climb and through the magic of satellite broadcast by Fathom Events we have made it happen in Regal, AMC, and Lowe’s theaters everywhere. After the film, there will be a live panel on solving global and injustice that everyone can see and be a part of that night. Please make every effort to support this movement of women changing the world and support independent documentary film… And bring 5 friends with you! Since this release is nationwide, please invite at least 5 Facebook friends to go to the film. I am curious to see if my FB friends alone could sell out the film just by telling their friends to go and invite their friends. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! WE WILL ONLY SELLOUT IF EVERYONE BUYS A TICKET!

Panel Will Feature:

Former Secretary of State, Madeline Albright
New York Times Reporter, Nicholas Kristof
CARE Ambassador/Model, Christy Turlington Burns
President of CARE, Dr. Helene Gayle
[Removed Unconfirmed Guests]
