Those of you who follow me on social media might remember my quest to get John Krasinski’s attention last summer while he was in Akron filming scenes for the sequel to his mega hit, A Quiet Place.
He filmed scenes for A Quiet Place II in many of the same local spots we shot Murder Creek, so I thought, hoped, maybe he would think that was as cool as I did and want to get together for coffee or something.
He did not. Apparently.
While I was unsuccessful in my attempts to meet him, I was able to hand his assistant a copy of Murder Creek with the request that it be given to John, and I considered that a win.
Yes, I am that annoying creative type who carries around copies of everything she’s ever created on the off chance she stumbles into an opportunity to hand one of them off to someone influential who might A) not immediately blow her off and B) possibly enjoy it.
From there, obviously, this person would realize what a creative genius I am and demand to help make my dreams a reality. In pour the millions, with which I’ll snag a Florida condo for my mom, and a brilliant ski chalet for my dad in Colorado, primo healthcare for the entire fam, and then take on my student loans.
This is actually how my brain works - strictly in triumphant, Lifetime/Hallmark Movie of the Week terms.
In my defense, this way of thinking has allowed me to give a screenplay to Gabriel Byrne and hand a copy of my book Down Went Alice directly to Al Pacino on the streets of New York City.
In not-my-defense, I remain millions-less and mom and dad still have to rent their respective condos so I guess neither man realized the power of my genius but I won’t hold it against them.
I’d never hold anything against either of these men. Because I love them.
(…I’m really starting to think I have a “type”...)
Now comes the exciting news from the Akron Chamber of Commerce that Murder Creek will be opening for Krasinksi’s A Quiet Place II on opening night of the Hollywood film at the Dipson Flix Stadium 10 in Depew on March 20th!
Both films feature scenes shot in Akron so the night will be a celebration of Akron and of filmmaking.
Tickets available at the Newstead Public Library and the Market on Main, both located in Akron. There is a limited ticket supply so if you’re interested in attending the premiere, get your tickets asap.
Thanks so much to the Akron Chamber of Commerce for making this happen!
I hope to see you all on March 20th!
