Suttons Bay Theatre shows Made in Michigan films

From staff reports

The Bay Community Theatre in Suttons Bay resumes its Made-In-Michigan film series on Sunday, May 19, at 4 pm with “The DJ on Wallaker Hill.” The movie, written and directed by Rich Brauer, is a suspense thriller and homage to Alfred Hitchcock.

The film’s story demonstrates how the events that took place at a small wilderness radio station in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Christmas Eve 1963, make it difficult to distinguish between a law-abiding citizen and a criminal.

The Bay’s Made-In-Michigan film series launched on April 28 with the Bromantic Comedy, “Quicksand.” The series highlights the great filmmaking going on in our state. Attendees often have the opportunity to engage in-person with the creative personalities behind the films.

The series also features “Marqueetown” on June 23. Directed by Joseph Beyer and Jordan Anderson, features the history of The Nordic, an iconic small-town theater that endured in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for almost 100 years, through booms and busts, even as the world changed endlessly around them.

Come to The Bay, enjoy your favorite beverage, munch on the best popcorn in town, and stick around for a fun Q&A with the filmmakers, afterwards. Tickets are just $10 and can be purchased at the door or online at thebaytheatre.com under “Schedule and Tickets.”
