GranITE Rapids Moon: A Movie about Hiking, Camping, and Life Monday, April 28th

1507 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA 23517

TATC members will have a remarkable opportunity on April 28th.  John Charles Meyer will screen his new movie, Granite Rapids Moon, at the Naro Cinema, 1507 Colley Avenue, Norfolk.  The theme of the film is the impact hiking and camping can have on a person’s life and relationships, and TATC members are specially invited.

It’s the first narrative feature film ever to shoot the majority of its footage inside the Grand Canyon. It was made with permission and oversight from the National Park Service, using only the equipment that cast and crew could carry on their backs through 82 miles of hiking. In other words, we made a film while leaving no trace. It is a family-friendly film with no nudity, sex, guns, violence, drugs, tobacco, or strong profanity.

Granite Rapids Moon is targeted to those who love to hike and camp.  Learning of our club, John chose TATC to partner with him to present the film in our area.  We’ll receive a small share of the revenue from tickets purchased by TATC members.

After the screening, we will brief non-TATC members in the audience about the club and our activities.  It’s a great recruitment opportunity.  Following the briefing, John, the producer and central character of the film, will respond to audience questions about how the film was made.

Afterwards, John agreed to join us at a local pub or brewery to continue the conversation. (The Venue will be determined.)

You can see the trailer and visit the NARO website to purchase tickets by clicking here (Website Link), or go directly to the ticketing page by clicking here (Ticketing Link).  Tickets are $13 each.   The theater is small, and the screening will be open to the public, so please purchase your online tickets as soon as possible.  

PLEASE NOTE: After your online purchase, NARO will email you a receipt. It may erroneously indicate that the screening will start at 11:30 p.m. NARO acknowledges this error. The movie will start at 7:30 p.m.

We previously asked the membership to show interest in the film and the follow-on activities. We received 46 responses for a total of 89 tickets, so many TATC members will probably attend.

This promises to be a fun night, so please mark your calendars for Monday, April 28th. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., and the film starts 30 minutes later.
