RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS WEST COAST PREMIERE AT THE 2005 NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL ON APRIL 23, 2005
Southern California’s Ringer fans will enjoy the long-awaited chance to see RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS at the 2005 Newport Beach Film Festival. Enthusiasts of Tolkien’s books are legion, expanded by the success of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” Oscar-sweeping trilogy; but fans will only be able to catch the hot documentary phenomenon that took over Park City at NBFF’s exclusive screening. The event is scheduled Saturday, April 23, 2005, at 7:30pm at the classic LIDO CINEMA located at 3459 Via Lido, Newport Beach, CA, 92663 -- Tel: 949-673-8350.
As a special treat for fans, Billy Boyd’s critically lauded short film INSTANT CREDIT has been added to the evening program. The short will screen immediately before RINGERS. After the premiere, join us for a RINGERS PREMIERE PARTY with hosted bar and appetizers at The FASHION ISLAND HARD ROCK CAFE located at 451 Newport Center Dr. Newport Beach, CA, 92660 -- Tel: 949-640-8844. The event is ages 21 and over ONLY! Tickets for both the screening and the party ONLY can be purchased at the Festival’s official site www.newportbeachfilmfest.com or by phone at 866-NBFF-TIX. Combo price for both screening ticket and party is $50.00/each. Screening tickets only ARE SOLD OUT. Reserve tickets early -- they are expected to sell out.
RINGERS debuted at the 2005 Slamdance Film Festival this January to sell-out crowds and great reviews. The Toronto Star called it “…comprehensive, entertaining and informative pop cultural history." Independent film ubersite FilmThreat proclaimed: “It is a documentary that will always be a salient part of Lord of the Rings history.... See it, absorb it, love it!”
