A 25-minute film set 10 years ago in Detroit's Cass Corridor before it was referred to as "Midtown," will premiere Thursday at 8 p.m. in the upstairs theater of the Park Bar in downtown Detroit, behind the Fox Theatre.
Michael Jackman of Metro Times writes:
The film is a dark comedy called "The Corridor. Defended" and it's written and produced by Wayne State University graduate Mike Targus.
A decade ago, back in the days in which the film is set, Targus had just graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in acting, and had spent a year or two helping his pal Jerry Belanger open the Park Bar, during which time he had some of the experiences that inspired the film.
He's been out in Los Angeles since then, and his production company produced “39 to Go,” a web-series starring Jon Polito. Now he returns to town with a short firm to the place his journey began. . . .
The screening takes place at 8 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 25, at the Elizabeth Theater, upstairs from the Park Bar, 2040 Park Ave., Detroit; tickets are $5 and are available at the door or by calling the Park Bar Box Office at (313) 454-1286 or emailing info@parkbardetroit.com.
For more information, call (313) 454-1286, or see parkbardetroit.com or miketargus.com.
