Local Film Premieres in Columbia

Last night, a film with special ties to Columbia premiered at the RagTag Cinema downtown. The movie "Lit" was produced, directed and filmed all here in town. A Columbia based production company as well as several local actors, students and community members made this film possible. The story follows Dr. Samuel Kete, a tenured English professor who is in trouble and is forced to teach an Introduction to Literature class. His friend, Carrey Wasse, an administrator at the University is also involved in the story as Dr. Kete tries to help with Wasse's marital problems. This full length feature only used 3400 dollars to complete from start to finish. Director, writer and producer Brian Maurer hopes to take the film to independent theatres and film festivals across Missouri.
