    PATTI ROCKS Screening

    Filmmaker David Burton Morris will be discussing the making of this film on Thursday the 18th at 11:00am in LC-130.  See the film here before the discussion on Thursday.

    Synopsis:

    It's Christmas time in the twin cities.  Billy's working a lot of overtime, running barges on the Mississippi.  He calls his friend Eddit, whom he hasn't seen in six months, and asks a favor: to drive with him to see his pregnant girlfriend, Patti, because Billy hasn't told her he's married and already has two children.  The road trip of guy talk becomes a night of truths exchanged between men and women.

    Nominated in 1989 for 5 Independent Spirit Awards.
