Philly Inquirer Feature on 941
"A home at last for local directors and their films"
A.D. Amarosi did a great article on the 941 Theater and the state of indie theatrical screenings in Philadelphia!
"A movie theater in an up-and-coming neighborhood that screens independent films you can't see elsewhere and locally produced flicks - at a time when Hollywood banks on big-dollar Iron Men and Kung Fu Pandas?
Sounds like an awesome idea. And that's what's behind the 941 Theater, the bright green building at 941 N. Front St., in the shadow of I-95 and several shiny new Bart Blatstein developments.
In the spirit of indie everything, 941 is not only the first movie theater in Northern Liberties, it's the first non-chain theater to compete with the Ritzes for independent fare - and show local fare."
"They've always been believers who fight for the cause," says Scott Johnston, 41, a Philly film director and animator who curates events for fellow moviemakers on Tuesdays at N. 3rd, a bar in Northern Liberties.

The Gits Trailer
Rumored to have been descended from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, the incredibly magnetic frontwoman had a powerful, soulful voice that belied her inherent shyness and distinguished The Gits from other punk bands of that day.
This riveting documentary is part musical history and part murder mystery, brimming with rare performance footage dating from their Antioch College days through their subsequent move to Seattle just before the world's ears suddenly tuned into the emerging northwest music scene. The Gits would become an integral and influential part of the milieu if largely unsung in comparison to fellow Seattle bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. But just as they were about to make it big, the band was dealt a mighty blow with the sudden, violent loss of their friend and band member whose lyrics eerily foreshadowed events to come.
Mia's murder became a rallying point for seattle music scene, as the investigation ripped through the community with devastating results, leaving many female musicians feeling momentarily disempowered before turning their insecurity into anger and into a statement that would resonate with women the world over. A celebration of Mia's life as well as a comprehensive testament to the band's greatness as a whole. The film's interviews reflect the enormous respect and love Mia's peers had for her, and also the sadness over her absence that still haunts them today.
