Michelle writes: I’ve been a long time reader of TORn, and I’m currently working with the filmmakers of Sean Astin’s latest film, “Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School”. The website for the movie is www.marilynhotchkissmovie.com. This provides all sorts of information about the film, including the theaters where it will be released in the U.S. on March 31 — and new theaters keep being added! Also, if you could let people know the correct date of the movie’s opening — it’s March 31. Secondly, an L.A. radio station – K-mozart- is running a contest to win tickets to an exclusive screening with the film’s composer, Mark Adler. [More]
