Rooftop Films “40/40 Vision”,

Tad Barnes and Rooftop Films invite you to “40/40 Vision”, a series of cocktail events in support of Rooftop Films.

Each of the five parties will feature the best of Rooftop Films’ programming, touching on themes from NYC stories to social justice to comedy. For the past 13 years, Rooftop Films has offered the best of first-run independent film in outdoor spaces around NYC. Now, Rooftop Advisory Committee Member Tad Barnes wants to invite you to experience Rooftop Films his way.

Your $40 admission (100% tax deductible) gets you a full cookout and beer graciously donated by Radeberger Pilsner, hosted in Tad’s Williamsburg apartment and outdoor deck. We’ll be screening the best of Rooftop Films’ programming rain or shine and you’ll have a chance to meet Rooftop staff and featured filmmakers.

Rooftop Films t-shirts and information about volunteering will be available.

Think about it - $40 gets you a cookout, free drinks and outdoor films on a great Brooklyn deck – what better way to get your Saturday night started? At that price, bring a friend (or two). Below is the schedule for the “40/40 Vision” series:


Sat 11/21/09 - Carlin (Brent Green | Schuylkill Haven, PA | " My Aunt Carlin moved in with us when I was a kid. She had diabetes and really wanted to die. She didn't think she'd ever die.

The screening will include a live musical performance by Brent accompanying the film.
