Thank you to all those who came to the premiere of 1:47 on Friday evening, and thank you to the literally hundreds of people who came out this weekend to see the film.  Each of the three screenings this weekend was sold out; we are humbled by the response to this film, and grateful to all who came out to see it.  If you did not get a chance to see the film this weekend, here are the additional screenings which will occur this month:

On April 11, 12, 17, 19 and 26 at 7 p.m., the film will be shown at the Richmond Art Museum
350 Hub Echison Parkway, Richmond.
Tickets are $5 at the door.
Info: (765) 966-0256

Also, do come out to see the companion exhibit of photographs and artifacts related to the explosions.  This is on display at The Gallery in Whitewater Hall, Indiana University East, 2325 Chester Blvd., Richmond. Admission is free. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Info: (765) 973-8605.

For all who have asked about a DVD — yes, there will be one available for purchase later this year.  We will work on creating this over the summer; the DVD will also include extra material and special features.

And, for all those who have asked, yes I am at work on the book.  (Thanks for asking, Joe!)  I anticipate it will take about two years before we see a book. I have started work on this, and will continue work this summer, then find a publisher.  Keep checking back here and I’ll post updates as anything interesting happens.  

Finally, check back here soon for our photographs of the premiere, and other stories from that event.   Thank you again to all who came out this weekend.  We were so very pleased to see so many people at Indiana University East.

East. The showings of the film on Saturday (2 p.m. and 7 p.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m.) are $5 at the door. Doors will open an hour before each screening.

Thank you to all who have expressed interest in and appreciation of the film. We are very pleased to be able to bring this story to the screen to honor and remember all who were affected by this event, now forty years in the past.
