Film All About All About Us
Posted By Matt Brunson on Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 9:50 AM
 The romantic drama All About Us opens this Friday, but it's Thursday night that's all about the celebrities.
All About Us, in which two novice filmmakers head to Mississippi to ask Morgan Freeman to appear in their movie, arrives courtesy of the Charlotte-based husband-and-wife team of Michael and Christine Swanson. Christine wrote and directed the picture while Michael produced it (through their locally based production company, Faith Filmworks), and the cast features The Gospel's Boris Kodjoe, the great actress Ruby Dee (most recently seen as Denzel Washington's mom in American Gangster), and, oh yes, Freeman in a special appearance.
The Swansons, Dee and Kodjoe will all be on hand for the gala opening this Thursday at the Ballantyne Village Theatre. The film starts at 7:30 p.m., followed by a VIP reception at 9:30. The evening kicks off with an hors d'oeuvres reception at 6:30, and the filmmakers will also hold a post-screening discussion and Q&A between 9 and 9:30.
Admission is $100 for the pre-screening reception, film, and Q&A session, and $200 for all of the above as well as the VIP post-reception. Proceeds will benefit the local charity Florence Crittenton Services of Charlotte. For tickets, go to www.fcsnc.org/events.html. For showtimes, call 704-369-5100.
