A "Grand" Premiere

Our very own Grand Cinema announced an exciting piece of news. The surprise Australian hit “Kenny” will make its North American debut on our screens!

From the Grand:

Movies make their premieres in New York and Los Angeles all the time. After a brief run in those places, movies then find their way to Washington. On June 20 the poles of the movie world will reverse when a film makes its North American debut at the non-profit Grand Cinema in Tacoma.

The movie tells the story of Australia’s Kenny Smyth. From the biggest festival to the smallest church social, Kenny delivers porta-potties to them all. Part philosopher, part comedian and all heart, Kenny is one of the cogs in society’s machinery; a knight in shining overalls taking care of business with his faithful “Splashdown crew.” Watch as Kenny juggles family tensions, fatherhood and sewage with charm, humor and unflinching dignity.

Sounds like fun. Inspiration for local filmmakers perhaps?
