The NYC Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, in conjunction with Warner Bros. Pictures and the Apollo Theater Foundation are hosting an event that might be worthy to look into.

On Monday, November 12^th, they are holding an advance screening of the new film August Rush. Following the film, the audience is invited to attend a panel discussion with the film’s director Academy Award nominee Kirsten Sheridan. The panel will also include the film’s producer Richard Lewis, composer Mark Mancina, stunt coordinator Blaise Corrigan, camera operator Jim McConkey, and set decorator Carol Silverman, and that’s just the short list. The panel will be there to speak to students about working in the entertainment industry

The event itself opens at 10:00am at the Apollo Theater, but the doors open at 9:00am, and since the event is free you might want to get there a little early.

And for those unsure of what August Rush is about here’s a brief synopsis from Warner Bros. Pictures:

“August Rush is the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square. They are soon torn apart, however, leaving in their wake an infant, orphaned by circumstance. Years later, performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams) who gives him the name August Rush, the child (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.”
