We also want to share a bit about the busy week we've had in the press promoting The City of Servers ahead of our May 11th premiere screening at Nickelodeon Cinemas (only seven days away!). We've been genuinely amazed by the support our local community has shown and are excited that we've been able to get the word out about our film to as many folks living in and around Portland as possible.

As mentioned in our last blog post, tickets are still on sale for our May 11th premiere screening at Nickelodeon Cinemas in Portland, ME. The first screening will begin at 6:00 pm, and then an additional screening will start at 8:45 pm that night. However, our first screening has officially sold out (!!!) so be sure to snag your spot at our 8:45pm screening soon!
We also want to re-share information about our May 12th screening at The Magic Lantern Theatre in Bridgeton, ME. We've seen far fewer ticket sales for this screening, so if you're around the area & able to come out to support our Maine Mayhem student film festival, that would be much appreciated. Doors open at 6:30 pm for this screening, and the show will go from 7-9:00 pm.
Our third screening date for The Maine Mayhem Film Festival was also just announced! You can catch a screening of The City of Servers on May 13th at The Bangor Arts Exchange. This screening begins at 7pm and tickets are limited, so be sure to secure your spot(s) today:
