One of my friends is an extra in this movie, filmed right here in the Old Pueblo. This Arizona Theatrical Premiere will show at the Loft Theatre (3233 E. Speedway) on February 9, at 7 p.m.

Plus free souvenir give-aways of the talking bottle opener (as featured in the movie), while supplies last, so don’t be late to this showing!

“It only takes one idea.”

INGENIOUS is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy drama, based on a true story and filmed right here in Tucson!

Two lifelong friends, a small-time inventor (Dallas Roberts, 3:10 TO YUMA) and a silver-tongued salesman (two-time Oscar-nominee Jeremy Renner, THE HURT LOCKER) overcome hard times in Tucson, Arizona with hope and humor. Thanks to a series of comical mishaps and misadventures, the duo hit rock bottom before eventually striking gold with an “ingenious” invention that just might be their ticket to the big-time!

Also starring Ayelet Zurer (MUNICH) and Richard Kind (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM). Directed by Jeff Balsmeyer (DANNY DECKCHAIR) and written by Mike Cram, who based the story on his own experiences as one of the inventors of the talking bottle opener, as seen in the movie.

Sounds like hard times in Tucson can turn to gold. See you at the movies.
