Alien Boy Poster

Pinball Publishing has finished creating Mike King’s poster for Alien Boy.

The poster is in the hands of the distributors now. Watch for it as it goes up around town over the next few days.

From Pinball’s blog, CoinOp - “Alien Boy is a documentary about the horrific killing of James Chasse by Portland Police in 2006. The film documents the investigation, as well as, the life of James Chasse. It is an event not to miss. “

The design, printing and distribution of the Alien Boy Benefit poster is another contribution to the film by folks at the Wonder Ballroom and Reading Frenzy.

Thanks!

Fundraiser raises $2700

Many thanks to the generous donors who contributed $2,700 to Alien Boy at a fundraiser on Wednesday night at home of Allen and Nan Whitaker-Emrich.

Donors heard from the film’s director Brian Lindstrom and producer Jason Renaud to learn the latest about the film’s progress and watched a portion of Brian’s film Finding Normal.

EXTRA – if you’re a member of Facebook, join the Alien Boy Benefit group. Currently there are 100 members and the list is growing!

Helping “Alien Boy” Reach the Finish Line

I’ve blogged before about the production of “Alien Boy,” the documentary that Brian Lindstrom is making about the death of Jim Chasse at the hands of Portland Police Officers in 2006.

Brian is best known for his brilliant film “Finding Normal,”which he made as a one-man show. This time, he has more help, including Portland Mercury muckraker Matt Davis, former Pond front man Charlie Campbell, and several figures from the Mental Health Association of Portland.

But the production could use even more help in the form of Benjamins — i.e., money — and so a benefit will be held at the Wonder Ballroom on Sept. 17 to raise funds to complete the film.

Some details of the event have been released. And while I must admit that these performers don’t mean terribly much to me (what, Steve and Eydie were booked somewhere else?), I can state without reservation that this is a damned worthwhile cause.
