"Sleaze-O-Rama!" - KEITH NEEDS A KIDNEY Benefit Triple-Feature of Vintage Grindhouse Flicks from the '60s, '70s and '80s
"Best Local Indie Film Venue" MUSE ARTS WAREHOUSE and THE PSYCHOTRONIC FILM SOCIETY OF SAVANNAH (repeatedly named Best Local Film Series by the readers of Connect Savannah) join forces to raise much-needed funds for beloved local musician, artist and father KEITH KOZEL's Life-Saving Kidney Transplant.
Keith is currently undergoing dialysis for an incurable kidney disease, but is also on the waiting list for a transplant. However, he must raise approximately $125,000 more to afford the surgery and lifetime aftercare.
He and PFS Curator Jim Reed have selected three infamous examples of vintage "Trash Cinema" and will screen them all in a single day in the dark and quiet theatrical environment of downtown's Muse Arts Warehouse, with 100% of proceeds(including ticket sales, concessions and raffles) going directly to offset Kozel's astronomical medical costs.
(For more information on Keith's plight, check out www.KeithNeedsAKidney.com)
Each of these three gloriously twisted (and extremely entertaining) films were shown back in the day at inner city "grindhouse theaters," and sketchy drive-ins, but have rarely been seen in public since. Bawdy, violent, sexually charged and politically incorrect by today's standards, they are a freaky blast from the past and a hoot-and-a-half that must be seen to be believed.
Now's your chance to see them as their brazen directors intended - on the big screen - and support a worthy cause at the same time!
