Jul. 3—ROCHESTER — Film director Josh Roush is coming to Rochester for "Wrong Reasons." The director is bringing his indie film to Pops Art Theater and will personally be on hand at the theater for a Q&A following two midnight screenings of the film.
In the film, the kidnapping of a punk rock frontwoman leads to a manhunt and media circus.
People are encouraged to attend and have their tickets and popcorn in hand at 11:59 p.m. Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 8.
Kevin Smith, whose career was launched with a similar, DIY, indie project, executive produced and plays a role in the film. James Parks, David Koechner and Liv Roush also star in the production.
The screenings are previews before the film gets nationwide distribution Aug. 15.
Theater owner Nate Nelson said the screening is exactly what he hoped to do opening the theater.
The soundtrack features Tim Armstrong, The Wipers, Black Flag, The Unseen, L7 and Iowa musician William Elliott Whitmore.
"One of our favorite parts of running an art-house theater is being able to feature the weird, wild and wacky films that get made by independent artists every year," Nelson said.
