[Reel Pizza] update Sept 11 -17

hi everyone

Sorry that this is so late in getting to you, but there have been some unexpected technical issues with the web server that prevented me from sending this email until now.  But it all seems to be working at present, so let's move forward.

We have finally arrived at our MIFF by-the-Sea weekend.  We are all very excited about the planned events and are looking forward to four special days of film and fun.  Things kick off today at 4pm with an Opening Night Celebration, catered by Sassafrass Catering and Atlantic Brewing Company.  At 6pm, the first film will start, and we will present many films and welcome many filmmakers by the time things wrap up Monday evening.  Tickets are available for all shows and will be for sale at the door.  Below is a daily listing of film events we have scheduled.  We hope many of you can join us at some point this weekend.  See you soon!

Sincerely
Lisa, Chris and Colin

hi everyone

Sorry that this is so late in getting to you, but there have been some
unexpected technical issues with the web server that prevented me from
sending this email until now. But all seems to be working at present, so
let's move forward.

We have finally arrived at our MIFF by-the-Sea weekend. We are all very
excited about the planned events and are looking forward to four special
days of film and fun bringing the best of the Maine International Film
Festival to Bar Harbor. Things kick off TODAY at 4pm with an Opening
Night Celebration, catered by Sassafrass Catering and Atlantic Brewing
Company. At 6pm tonight, the first film will start, and we will present
many films and welcome many filmmakers by the time everything wraps up
Monday evening. Tickets (which are $8 for these special films) are still
available for all shows and will be for sale at the door. Below is a
daily listing of film events we have scheduled. Please use the email I
sent earlier with film descriptions, or feel free to pick up a printed
program booklet at Reel Pizza. We hope many of you can join us at some
point this weekend. See you soon!
