On Monday, October 7th, 2019, from 6:30 to 8:30pm, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Peter McDowell will be throwing a Bay Area benefit at the Laundry in San Francisco, 3359 26th Street, San Francisco.
Tickets are available now in tiers of $40 (general admission - one drink ticket included) and $75 (benefactors - two drink tickets and reserved seating included); with a $25 limited income ticket option as well. A link for ticket purchase can be found at jimmyinsaigon.com/october7/
This party helps aid in the creation of McDowell's upcoming full-length documentary film, Jimmy in Saigon (www.jimmyinsaigon.com), executive produced by Dan Savage, and features a 14 minute "first look" at the film, an interview with Peter conducted by Warrior Films' Frederick Marx, and a musical performance by singer/songwriter Dylan Rice. Also included are silent auction, bottle pull (with wine and spirits to take home), as well as a serving of hors d'oeuvres and wine. Together with benefits in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Champaign-Urbana, IL, McDowell is hopeful to submit to Sundance in 2020.
Moreover, 10% of this event's proceeds will go to Warrior Films: a Bay-area nonprofit that is shining the spotlight on how veterans can use traditional and non-traditional rites of passage to heal from the emotional and psychic scars of war. Frederick Marx is the visionary co-creator of Hoop Dreams, produced in association with Kartemquin films, and is the founder of Warrior Films. Of particular note to this event, Peter, Frederick, and Peter's late brother Jimmy share the common bond of having graduated from University of Illinois high school ("Uni High") in Urbana, IL.
Jimmy in Saigon is a feature documentary from filmmaker Peter McDowell and executive producer Dan Savage. Peter chronicles the story of his eldest brother Jim who died under confusing circumstances in 1972, when Jim was 24 and Peter was only 5. Jim was living as a civilian in Saigon at the time, and Peter explores the last years of his life through over 200 of Jim's letters, candid interviews with Jim's friends and family, and filming of the truth-seeking journey that has led him across the United States, Vietnam and France.
