Waterline Writers to feature 'Pottersville' film, conversation with director
On Sunday, Dec. 17, Waterline Writers will host a screening of the newly released feature film "Pottersville" and a conversation with director and Batavia resident Seth Henrikson, who turned his friend Dan Meyer's script into a movie.
It begins at 7 p.m. in the art gallery at Water Street Studios, 160 S. Water St. in Batavia. The gallery now has elevator access.
Even as it pays homage to "It's A Wonderful Life," Pottersville careens into modern-day scenarios Frank Capra could never have imagined, capturing the craziness of the present and reflecting the best of the past.
Starring Michael Shannon, Ron Perlman, Judy Greer, Tom Lennon, Christina Hendricks and Ian McShane, you also can see "Pottersville" now on Amazon or on Netflix. You decide: watch the entire movie before you come or wait until after this private screening to share it with family and friends over the holidays.
Everyone is welcome and there is no admission for this month's event! Donations to the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry will be gladly accepted.
They will have beer from Solemn Oath Brewery, wine from Bright Angel Wines, food from The Market at Gaetano's, desserts from Limestone Coffee & Tea, hand-tooled pens from Wooden Writers, and hand-constructed books from Tieri Ton. Think last minute gifts!
There will not be an open mic at this month's event.
They are still accepting submissions from writers for the 10-minute reading slots during the monthly programs next year. Contact Anne Veague or Kevin Moriarity at waterlinewriters@gmail.com.
Waterline Writers meets at 7 p.m. on the third Sunday of the month, September to May. Email waterlinewriters@gmail.com.
