Filmmaker Focus: Catherine O’Hara and Christopher Guest – Waiting for Guffman (1996)

There's a good reason some talent remains undiscovered.

Christopher Guest

When the town of Blaine, Mo., approaches its sesquicentennial, there's only one way to celebrate: with a musical revue called "Red, White and Blaine." Hoping the show will be his ticket back to Broadway, impresario Corky St. Clair (Christopher Guest) rounds up a cast of enthusiastic but untalented locals (Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, Catherine O'Hara) to perform his masterwork. But, when Corky reveals that theater agent Mort Guffman will attend the opening, things really kick into high gear.

SHOUT Movie Night is a film series presented and curated by BAO (Birmingham AIDS Outreach) in conjunction with Sidewalk Cinema + Film. Our goal is to offer a diverse and inclusive film series that ensures all members of our community are represented. Please arrive an hour early for a pre-screening event and stay for a post-screening event both in the lobby.
