Locally produced feature film to have further screenings

[DENDY CINEMAS, CANBERRA] Locally produced feature film, A Touch of Courage, which is set to be premiered at Dendy Cinemas on Saturday 19th of May, has secured 3 extra screenings.

Produced over three years by local production companies, Goldfish Productions and Menofthehour Productions, the film will now also screen at the Canberra Centre cinema complex on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd and on Wednesday 23rd of May.

The additional sessions are in response to the overwhelming number of pre-booking of tickets for the film’s grand premiere.

“It has been awesome! The support we have had from the community has been exceptional! I think the filmmakers should be extremely proud of response so far. The premiere is shaping up to be a night that won’t be forgotten!” said Ms Sarah Keetman, the premiere’s event manager.

“Almost 290 seats have already been filled for the premiere screening and general ticket sales haven’t even began. I just hope this is sign of the film’s success,” Ms Keetman added.

Ms Keetman, (20) is a Hotel Management student at the University of Canberra, but as always been a keen organiser of grandeur events.

“At college I was a key organiser of a benefit concert in aid of the massive Boxing Day tsunami and of our year twelve formal, and while they were really big events at the time, nothing has compared to the amount of organisation that was required to bring this premiere event alive,” Ms Keetman said. “It has been very exciting working on the premiere of an independent feature film, and with the success of this event, I look forward to further such opportunities in the future!”

The pre-booking of tickets will be available until the 11th May. Tickets official go on sale to the general public from the Dendy Box Office on the 12th May. Premiere tickets are $15 each and are $12 on Monday 21st and Wednesday 23rd. A special price of $9 per ticket is available on Tuesday 22nd.
