We’re working* with the folks at A24 to offer the Women and Hollywood community the opportunity to see an advance screening of “Lady Bird,” written and directed by Greta Gerwig.
This is a film that we all love here at Women and Hollywood and we are so excited to give you all the chance to see this film as it rolls out and takes the country by storm.
We promise you will enjoy “Lady Bird.”
Here is the synopsis: Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated, and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird’s father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, “Lady Bird” is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.
Here is a list of the screening dates and cities:
- November 6: Phoenix, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
- November 7: Austin and Sacramento
- November 8: Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Seattle
- November 13: Detroit, Houston, and Tampa
- November 14: Miami
- November 15: Orlando and Portland
What you need to do to attend:
- Email ladybirdwah@gmail.com with 1) the city you would like to see the film in, 2) your affiliation (if any), and 3) where you heard about the screenings. You will get an email back with the time and location of the screening and a pair of tickets. Please don’t email if you are not sure if you want to attend. We have a limited amount of tickets and don’t want to hold seats for people will not be in attendance.
- Your name will be on the list with the press team at the theater. Just say you are with Women and Hollywood.
*Disclaimer of transparency — I wrote above that Women and Hollywood is working with A24. Women and Hollywood has been hired by A24 to help reach our community because they believe that we are the targeted market for this film. I agree with them and that’s why I signed up to get the word out. This is a very special movie that is in keeping with the values and commitment of Women and Hollywood. Spreading the word about films that we can get behind and support is one of the missions of our work.
