THE NEON Opens FRANCES HA – Best Reviewed Comedy of the Year!

June 5, 2013 by Jonathan McNeal

Hello Everyone, If you still need to see MUD or TO THE WONDER, you'll only have until Thursday (June 6) to see them at THE NEON. On Friday (June 7), we will open the new comedy FRANCES HA - directed by Noah Baumbach (director of THE SQUID AND THE WHALE). This new comedy has been receiving fantastic reviews (100% reviews from The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post to name a few), and I think it is equal parts early Woody Allen and Francois Truffaut. In addition to this new movie, the beautiful film RENOIR will stick around for another week. For this week's … [Read more...]

Last weekend, eleven aspiring filmmakers joined FilmDayton instructors at DATV for this experience in filmmaking.
