I AM

Thursday, February 24th, 2011 @ 7PM

Landmark Harvard Exit  (807 E Roy st, Seattle, WA 98102)

* PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to see this preview of I AM, please leave the name/s of those who wish to attend in the comments section below. I will respond with a confirmation. Seating can never be guaranteed absolutely, however, if you arrive early, your name will be on the guest list and your odds are at least as good as Lindsay Lohan returning to court. *


I AM, a prismatic and probing exploration of our world, what’s wrong with it, and what we can do to make it better, represents Tom Shadyac‘s first foray into non-fiction following a career as one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners, with such successful titles as ACE VENTURA, LIAR LIAR and BRUCE ALMIGHTY to his credit. I AM recounts what happened to the filmmaker after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man. Disillusioned with life on the A-list, he sold his house, moved to a mobile home community, and decided to start life anew.

Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a camera crew, Shadyac embarks upon a journey to discover how he as an individual, and we as a race, can improve the way we live. Appearing on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig, Shadyac meets with a variety of thinkers and doers–remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, and faith–including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc Ian Barasch.  An irrepressible Everyman who asks many questions but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways.

    Hi Warren,

    Sadly, I am unable to attend tonight’s screening because both of my daughters are sick. I thought it would be good for you to free up the three tickets/spots for someone else. Thanks so much.

    Kymberlee
