Description

screening followed by discussion of The Usual Suspects Join us for a social and screening. Social from 6pm tot 7pm followed by the screening The Usual Suspects. Have you ever watched a great movie and found yourself talking about it hours even days later? Found yourself debating the finer points of the film with your friends - was it meant to be in there or just a pleasant accident? How did the writers create that story? Was it the writer or the director who made that decision? If this is you...then you need to attend. Join us March 3rd from 7 to 10pm at Harkins Theatre in Tempe as we watch and discuss The Usual Suspects. Chris LaMont (ASU Professor of screenwriting, founder of Phoenix Film Festival and screenwriter) will lead the discussion after the film and dive deeper into the making of the film.
