"It’s marvelously witty and entertaining as it ping-pongs from a charming comedy to a breathless thriller to a sweet romance to a character-driven drama. There’s something for everyone here, while it still remains marvelously specific." -Kimber Myers, Crooked Marquee

“4/4! This is a movie that reminds viewers that blockbusters can be morally and thematically complex while they’re entertaining the hell out of you. In a time dominated by unceasing cynicism, to have a master like this who truly believes in the power of transportive filmmaking is a gift. ” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert dot com

"TUNER has an old-school quality to it, like a movie from the 1970s. It has a throwback feel yet could easily exist in any era, which makes it so appealing. It’s a thrill to watch this kind of original, adult moviemaking that’s all too rare these days." -Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

Mark your calendars! Join us June 10 for a one-night-only screening of STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE! This is a fantastic, urgent, and surprisingly funny look at trailblazing journalist Amy Goodman.

From frontlines and riot police to the daily chaos of Democracy Now!, Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water) take us behind the scenes with a reporter who has spent three decades amplifying the voices commercial media tends to ignore.

Ultimately, the film poses a massive question: what happens to democracy when the press stops challenging power?
