I love this movie! Go see it on the big screen, Madison!

Event flyer art by Blake Barit is dominated by grassy shades of green, with the poster designs for the films DEUCE and EEPHUS towards the center of the image. The event date and time are listed in green text below the posters: "SATURDAY JULY 19th 5:00 pm." White text at the top reads "BASEBALL DOUBLE PLAY !!! THE BARTELL THEATRE." The text at the bottom reads "113 E Mifflin St Madison WI 53703" (the Bartell Theatre address) followed by the ticket price of $10. A triptych of still images from the films are shown above that text but below the event date and time.

in 10 days, I'll be hosting this screening of Margot Budzyna's DEUCE and Carson Lund's EEPHUS at the Bartell Theatre. two Madison premieres! tickets are just $10
