Mass Romantic - Film Screening

“Mass Romantic,” Chicago filmmaker Richard Paro’s new independent feature, premieres on Thursday, March 13th with an exclusive one-night engagement at Landmark’s Century Centre Cinema (2828 N. Clark). Members of the cast and crew will be in attendance, most of them viewing the film for the first time, right along with the audience. After years of development, “Mass Romantic” was shot in the sweltering Chicago heat of late summer in just 11 days featuring 40 actors in over 10 locations, producing 33 hours of footage. In October 2007, a rough cut of “Mass Romantic” was awarded “Best Director” at The L.I.N.K. Film Festival in Olympia, WA. Paro features 13 independent bands in “Mass Romantic” and chose 21 songs from the film to be included on the upcoming soundtrack album, “Mass Romantic: Music from the Motion Picture.” The album contains exclusive tracks, including live performances by Carrie Lydon, Kate Brown, ROFO and Head of Femur. The CD release is slated for late February.
