If you love movies (who doesn't) and you care about local artists and local productions, tonight is a must. A group of locally talented writers, producers, directors and videographers will unveil their orginal work at the Tivoli Theater in the University City Loop. This has been a film three years in the making. Ladue graduate Jeremy Cropf has had a significant role in this successful effort.

'Casualties of the State,' a locally produced independent film written, directed and produced by a variety of local talents will have its premier showing Sunday, July 8, 6:15 p.m. at the Tivoli Theater, 6350 Delmar in the University City Loop.

Tickets are $12 for all seating. This is an excellent way to support the independent film movement going on currently in St. Louis. The event could well sell out before show time Sunday night.
