It's time once again for American Cinematheque to blow up the internet -- blow it up on the big screen, that is. Friday, January 15th, we'll be screening strike.tv's webisodes on the Egyptian's massive 60-foot wide screen!
Strike TV was created by screenwriters during the Writers Guild of America’s strike of 2007. Since then, it has grown to house more than 200 independently financed web series from writers of "The Office," "The Daily Show," "Friends," "The Larry Sanders Show," "Saturday Night Live," "Robot Chicken," and many more. In addition to the webisodes this Friday night, special guests will join us in person for a discussion panel.
Hosted by Bob Kushell (writer and producer, "The Simpsons")
