Gathr Films Serves Up National Theatrical Screenings of Big Sur

Adaptation of the Classic Jack Kerouac Novel Available Exclusively in Theaters Through Gathr Preview Series

In celebration of Jack Kerouac’s life and legacy, Gathr Films is pleased to exclusively bring Big Sur to select theaters across the nation in the month of October. The Gathr Preview Series is an independent film series that gives audiences in smaller cities the chance to see the best new independent films in theaters – before anyone else in the country.

Based on the 1962 novel by American literary icon Jack Kerouac, Big Sur recounts the events surrounding Kerouac’s three brief sojourns to a cabin in Bixby Canyon, Big Sur, owned by Kerouac’s friend and fellow Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The story departs from Kerouac’s previous fictionalized autobiographical series in that the self-inspired character is shown as a popular, published author; Kerouac’s previous works are restricted to depicting Kerouac’s days as a bohemian traveler.

The Gathr Preview Series proudly presents Big Sur in the following cities and theaters during the week of October 14, 2013:

October 14th :

Bellingham, WA: The Pickford Center Theater
Little Rock, AR: Market Street Cinemas
New Orleans, LA: The Zeitgeist
Portland, OR: The Clinton Street Theater

October 15th:

Providence, RI: Cable Car Cinema & Café
St. Petersburg, FL: Muvico Baywalk 20
Tallahassee, FL: All Saints Theater
Detroit, MI: The Maple Theater
Arlington MA: The Regent Theater

October 16th:

Pittsburgh, PA: The Hollywood Theater

October 17th:

Columbus, IN: Yes! Cinema
Eugene, OR: Bijou Arts Cinemas
Kansas City, KS: Glenwood Arts

    Is there any chance of more dates being added? *cough, cough* specifically south Jersey? Words cannot even express how much I am looking forward to this movie. Almost to tears.
