Midwest Independent Film Festival audiences will get a glimpse tonight into the Flüffenhaus phenomenon!  That’s right, before the feature presentation, audiences will get to see the world premiere teaser trailer to Flüffenhaus: The Comeback of a Pop Culture Icon, directed by Jeremy Kruse and produced by Emily Skyle.  Tonight’s a night you’re not going to want to miss!

The Illinois Institute of Art will be sponsoring tonight’s Chicago premiere of Being Bucky, a documentary about the hardship of being the mascot Bucky.  When you’re Bucky, you are forbidden to tell anyone.  You don’t get paid, but instead do it for the privilege of upholding a time-honored tradition.  The smell of the suit is terrible and you never know when you’ll get to use a bathroom.  By the time you’re done, you don’t ever want to stop.  Being Bucky changes you forever.

Director Scott Smith, executive producer John Fromstein and editor Sara Evans will be in attendance for a post-screening discussion with the audience.
