A world premiere here
The world premiere of “Linewatch,” starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and co-produced by Wright State film school grad Karri O’Reilly, takes place at The Neon Movies Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 7:30 p.m. for a one-time only screening. O’Reilly, who lived in Los Angeles for about 10 years before moving back to Dayton four years ago, said the movie was shot in Albuquerque last summer and will be shown at the Vancouver Film Festival later this month. “It’s about a border patrol agent whose past comes back to haunt him,”O’Reilly said. “It also stars Evan Ross (Diana Ross’s son), Omari Hardwick and Sharon Leal, who was in ‘Dream Girls.’ It’s a great cast.” “It’ll be out on DVD in October,” she continued, explaining that union rules require a theatrical release for movies that essentially go straight to DVD, if a production has used the Screen Actors Guild’s low-budget contract, a substantial incentive for many filmmakers. O’Reilly brought the film to Dayton because, she said, “The Neon has a long history of supporting local film makers.” Box office receipts will be donated to Wright State’s film program. — Laura Dempsey, Staff Writer
