FILM SCHOOL’S TORCHLIGHT PROGRAM TO PRESENT SNEAK PEAK OF Jane Campion's ‘BRIGHT STAR’ at Student Life Center

Dear colleagues, friends & students,

As the director of The Florida State University Film School's Torchlight Program I am thrilled to have been asked to present a Sneak Preview of Jane Campion's "Bright Star" at Florida State University through this program and my relationship with the distributor. On Thursday, September 24th at 7 P.M. The Torchlight Program will proudly present an Apparition Release of a Jane Campion (Academy Award winning screenplay for "The Piano") film, "Bright Star". Seating will be first come first serve as we are expecting record attendance at the Askew Student Live Center (SLC), 942 Learning Way, Tallahassee, Florida 32306-4172. Special thanks to the SLC, Apparition and especially to Jane Campion!.

Based on the true story, Bright Star chronicles the passionate love affair between the 24-year-old British poet, John Keats, and his 18-year-old enchanting muse, Fanny Brawne. Academy Award winner Jane Campion's (The Piano) return to the big screen features outstanding performances from Abbie Cornish (Stop-Loss) as Brawne, Ben Whishaw (I'm Not There) as Keats and Paul Schneider (NBCs Parks & Recreation) as Keats's friend, Charles Armitage Brown. Rated PG. In theaters including the Tallahassee AMC 20 on October 2. www.brightstar-movie.com

See you at the movies,
