Our founder/CEO heard about the Austin man suing his date for texting throughout a screening (not at an Alamo Drafthouse) of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL. 2. He's got a simple solution (entirely contingent on dropping the ridiculous lawsuit). - The Alamo Drafthouse

Tim League is my hero. Fuck texters. Original story for those interested.

Alamo Drafthouse Finally Opens in Los Angeles, With Tarantino in 35mm and Charm to Spare

"Rewind your mind" is the mantra at the new downtown Alamo Drafthouse Los Angeles. It soft opens July 20, with discounted food and drink for the first week.

What is it going to take to destroy these systems of oppression? What is it going to take to break down years of abuse? The men and women who have spoken out against the ongoing practices at the Drafthouse are mirror images of those at Cinefamily. They feel ignored, stepped on, devalued and left in the cold. They were not hip enough. Not in the cool kids club. Stories of floor staff at the Drafthouse being treated as “lesser than” because they were not within the upper echelon of the Who’s Who. And I get it: it’s largely impossible in a company that size to have some utopian vision where people are all partying together. But it is possible to have people feel appreciated and like they are part of an institution that is doing something amazing for the cinema community, which is the image that the Drafthouse outwardly projects. Bottom line: the party should never end up being more important than the people who decorated the room for the celebration.

Tim League accepts Devin Faraci's resignation from Alamo Drafthouse

An exhaustive account (with plenty of online screencaps) of the rise and then-fall of an elbow-throwing film blogger who, at the time of Monroe's article, went into exile due to sexual assault allegations. This will explain the outrage many people feel over Tim League and the Alamo Drafthouse resurrecting Faraci's career in what (to me) seemed like a stealth fashion.

Producers Christos V. Konstantakopoulos (Before Midnight, The Lobster), Keith and Jess Calder (Anomalisa, Blair Witch, You're Next) and Legion M, the first ever fan-owned media company have invested and come onboard as Executive Producers for The Field Guide to Evil.  Theanthology is a global exploration into dark folklore, and will feature eight terrifying tales from the world's most exciting new voices in international filmmaking.

The Field Guide to Evil is currently engaged in a first-of-its-kind equity crowd-funding campaign for a film on First Democracy VC, a funding portal brought through a partnership between Indiegogo and MicroVentures. Investors and film fans across the world have the opportunity to become equity partners in this unique horror production.

With these three investments THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL has now reached its minimum fundraising goal and the project is officially greenlit.  The producers hope to attract additional fans as well as other industry-seasoned financiers to join the team.  The campaign has 47 more days to reach its stretch goal of $500,000.

"All of us at Faliro House, are excited to be joining trailblazers Tim and Ant, and the rest of the amazing film professionals attached to THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL, as well as over a hundred horror fan investors around the world, in bringing this thrilling project to life," said Executive Producer Christos V. Konstantakopoulos.

"Jess and I are long-time supporters of crowdfunding, and couldn't be more excited to help Tim League and Ant Timpson launch THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL," said Executive Producer Keith Calder.

"As a company that is built upon a fan-ownership model, this project is natural fit for our slate" said Paul Scanlan, Cofounder and CEO of Legion M. "We believe in Tim and Ant, and the exceptional team of award-winning directorial voices brought together on this project. We are proud to join the team and continue to pioneer the frontiers of equity crowdfunding together."

From producers Ant Timpson (Turbo Kid, The Greasy Strangler) and Alamo Drafthouse CEO/Founder Tim League (ABCs of Death), The Field Guide to Evil will showcase eight tales that have caused many sleepless nights in their country of origin.

The stories and filmmakers hail from Austria (Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala, Goodnight Mommy), Hungary (Peter Strickland, The Duke of Burgundy), Germany (Katrin Gebbe, Nothing Bad Can Happen), Greece (Yannis Veslemes, Norway), India (Ashim Ahluwalia, Miss Lovely), Poland (Agnieszka Smoczynska, The Lure), Turkey (Can Evrenol, Baskin), and the United States (Calvin Reeder, The Rambler).

Producers Tim League and Ant Timpson will be hosting a Reddit AMA at 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET today.  If you have questions about the project, the financing model or literally anything, please join them for the spirited online discussion.

“The Handmaiden I’m a huge fan of, we played it at Fantastic Fest, Chan-wook Park came to that, I think it’s just a phenomenal film. And this is just first-run movies, but I really love La La Land. We’re going to be supporting that. I like that because A. the movie is amazing and B. we have this stage at the House Of Wax that we’re going to be doing jazz performances after the movie, which is integral to the film itself, so we’re going to incorporate the food, the music and the film together in one space, which I think is a really powerful combination.” - Tim League
