THE OLD STRIPPER To Screen In Indiana
The world is opening their eyes to THE OLD STRIPPER. And she's coming to a local movie theater near you in Indiana next month.
Dixie Films has partnered with TUGG Theatrical and Roxy Bordeaux Burlesque to screen a special one-night theatrical event of the award-winning feature documentary film THE OLD STRIPPER at AMC Showplace Bloomington 12 in Bloomington, Indiana on November 8th. The film, made by the real-life Mother/Son filmmaking team Jack Truman and Opal Dockery, is an epic documentary film about a burlesque legend who travels across the country, coast to coast, visiting her old dancing cities of yesterday.
Tugg, Inc. (www.tugg.com ) a web-platform that enables individuals to choose the films that play in their local theaters and create their own theatrical events, and Dixie Films, are excited to announce that THE OLD STRIPPER is available to screen nationwide through Tugg. The film is available through Tugg for special theatrical screenings across the country. The Bloomington screening will be the Indiana premiere of the Tugg theatrical release.
The award-winning film received top film honors at film festivals this summer in Des Moines, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Since it's World Premiere in June at the Interrobang Film Festival, THE OLD STRIPPER has screened over 10 film festivals worldwide, and will continue playing the film festival circuit this fall, in conjunction with the TUGG national release.
Dockery was a burlesque dancer for over 20 years in the 1970's and '80's. Truman, her son, and director of the film, grew up on the road with her during her burlesque circuit.
"This is very special to me", Truman stated in press materials. "The burlesque industry is a lost era. I grew up in that environment, in the adult entertainment business. As a child, I was raised around nudity and pornography. And as a filmmaker, I want to open people's eyes to a world they know nothing about. We are honored to partner with TUGG and Roxy Bordeaux Burlesque to provide the local area this opportunity to see this incredible documentary film THE OLD STRIPPER in Bloomington. We hope everyone takes this opportunity to take advantage of this unique program that provides the public the opportunity to see this important film at their local movie theater ".
Over last summer, Truman and Dockery traveled coast to coast, to all 48 states and the District of Columbia, on an epic journey shooting footage in every state nationwide, interviewing dancers young and old, visiting Opal's old dancing cities from her burlesque circuit, seeing landmarks around the country, and interviewing people in the burlesque industry.
"This is a story only we can tell", says Truman.
Earlier this summer, Dockery was inducted in the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada.
