Come hang out with me and Harrison…

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Anna Newman

Apparently Harrison Ford heard that Wade Krause: Pinball Artist will be playing at Cinequest in San Jose in a couple weeks, and decided to attend.

Seriously, there are ton of interesting events at Cinequest, including a live talk with Harrison Ford, who is being given an award. Consider coming to more of the festival than just the screenings of Wade Krause: Pinball Artist.

Screening Times

But if you can only come to one event, please do come out and support Wade and the film. We are screening as part of the Docunation program. Here are the times:

Thursday, Feb. 28 1:45 pm
Friday, March 8 6:45 pm (most cast/crew are coming to this screening)
Saturday, March 9 1:30 pm

I’ll be at all of them.

More news coming later this week about pinball games from PPM at the Cinequest opening night party on 2/26. Mark your calendar now!!

PS: Wade is part of a cool kickstarter campaign to make more art games with Coop, Jeremy Fish, Frank Kozik, Alex Pardee and Sam Flores— you might want to check that out: Bring Back the Arcade Campaign.

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Anna Newman

Lloyd Olson, AKA “LTG” will be including a screening of the ten minute festival cut of Pinball Donut Girl at his LTG show at Pinball Expo of Chicago this Friday, Oct. 19 at 10:00 PM in the Lake Michigan Ballroom.

I won’t be able to attend :(, but cast member Mark Czarnowski will be standing in for me, and I hear there is a good chance some PBDG posters will be part of Lloyd’s prizes.

In addition to putting on the greatest seminar at the Expo, Lloyd also runs SS Billiards, in Hopkins, Minnesota, where he has been keeping pinball fresh since 1972 with tournaments, family fun, and well maintained games.

So come out to the Expo, have a great time, and please join Mark at the LTG show to see Pinball Donut Girl! I wish I could be there with you.
