If you were one of the many movie-goers who saw “Straight Outta Compton” and really enjoyed it, you’re in for a treat.
On Tuesday, November 17th, director of “Straight Outta Compton” Gary Gray will be at IUP to discuss the movie and offer a free showing. This event will be held in Fisher Auditorium. Doors open at 5:00pm and you must have a ticket to attend (tickets are available at the HUB box office).
If you are really into movies or are a Communications Media major, you should definitely look into going to this event. First off, it’s FREE (every college student’s favorite word) and that is something you don’t hear very often. Secondly, you will be able to listen to a director of a major film talk about what went into making his successful movie. “Straight Outta Compton” has officially become the highest grossing film directed by an African American director, showing how successful and inspiring Gary Gray has become in the film industry.
This is a great opportunity for Communications Media majors. If you are undecided or considering going into the film and video side of media, this is a wonderful chance for you to hear what goes on behind the scenes and the making of a professional film. Hearing about a film from a personal view and hearing from someone with experience is a great way to learn about the film industry.
This is an opportunity you can’t pass up. It’s free, and when are you ever going to be able to meet the director of a major film again? Mark you calendars for a free showing of “Straight Outta Compton” on Tuesday, November 17th and enjoy hearing about the film from the director, Gary Gray.
