The ragged glory of period Super-8 sight and sound has been lovingly restored by Richard "Tex" Newman (R.U.R. band) and '80s punk rock video shoots veteran Lance Rosol.
After the first half is screened entertainment journalist Paul Zimmerman will interview and take questions from the audience with the film's co-producer, co-editor and cinematographer Dana Novak.
