Description

This is a marathon of comedy-style movies by my brother Roger Nygard, who is in town at the Parkway Theater, for the Twin Cities Film Fest. Saturday June 25, 2022Screenings from 11 am - 11 pm$15 advance, $50 day pass - RSVP at the Parkway TheaterThe Truth About Marriage (documentary ) and The Nature of Existence (philosphical) might be good fits for Spirit Unlimited members looking for some food for thought. Spirit Unlimited hosted Roger in 2010 to a packed crowd when The Nature of Existence debuted. Roger has a quirky style not meant to be taken seriously, but still gives you something to think about along the way. Then there are movies like Suckers (a spoof on car salesmen) and Trekkies (come dressed as a Trekkie or Alien and get a free bag of popcorn!). Here's the event trailer: https://vimeo.com/709290336 Free DVD copy of The Nature of Existence (2010) to the first 400 people through the doors. Some of Roger's books will be available for sale or signature at the theater.

He moved to CA to pursue filmmaking. In addition to his own films, he has also directed TV series such as The Office and The Bernie Mac Show.
