SECRET SCREENING WITH BEAU MILES 🎬❤️😄
📆 Tuesday 30 July 2024 - 7:30pm
🎟 www.lighthousetheatre.com.au/secret-screening-beau-miles
A secret screening is your chance to see Beau’s quirky films before they’re uploaded to YouTube. The idea is that these films aren't yet the ‘final version’, but good enough to understand and tell your pen pal about. In between, Beau will tell you a bunch of excellent stories that may or may not have anything to do with what you've just watched. He’ll be operating at 90 percent for at least 70 percent of the night, which by all accounts is what most people consider above average. To finish the show, Beau will answer your questions during a Q&A.
Let yourself get swept away on the tide of this compelling and deeply poignant story that will stay with you long after the lights come up.

Starring Academy Award® winning actor J.K Simmons, Noel G, Elizabeth De Razzo, Jake Busey, Lew Temple & Julian Atocani Sanchez, Sailboat brings love & hope to a family who have forged a simple but proud life in the drought-ridden Deep South. One afternoon Sailboat brings home a “little guitar”, from this moment, Sailboat and his little guitar are inseparable. When his ill grandmother requests that he write a song for her, Sailboat meanders through adversity to deliver the unimaginable – the greatest song ever written. The Latin-themed soundtrack is a crucial element of the movie and provides an opportunity for audiences to hear the Grigoryan Brothers like never before. Slava & Leonard Grigoryan are justifiably regarded as Australia’s finest classical guitarists with a repertoire spanning centuries, continents and genres, amazing telepathy, and the ability to draw emotion from every note.
