Dear Friends, Family, Film Lovers and Arts Supporters,

"The Little Red Truck" http://www.thelittleredtruck.com has been called the little film that could. This new, award winning documentary about the Missoula
Children’s Theatre http://www.mctinc.org/ international tours is coming to the big screen in cities across the country this summer and fall. The theatrical premiere is this Friday, July 11 at The Wilma in Missoula, MT; the Myrna Loy Center in Helena, MT; and YES Cinema in Columbus, IN. The other scheduled openings are listed below. If you know anyone in the cities mentioned, please forward this email to them so they can be on the look out for it. We’ll be adding cities to this list (NYC, LA, Chicago, SF, etc.) very soon!

This is an entertaining, uplifting, laugh-out-loud, and inspiring film that’s perfect for the whole family. It won "Best Feature Documentary" at the International Family Film Festival in Hollywood. It received the Dove Foundation Family Approved Seal. The MPAA has rated it "PG."

One half of all the profits from the film will be directed back to Missoula Children’s Theatre. So, when you see it in the theatre, not only will you laugh, cry and maybe even cock-a-doodle-doo, you’ll also be helping to continue the important performing arts education MCT does for over 65,000 kids every year throughout the world.

The director, Rob Whitehair, and I would like to invite you to join the grassroots effort to let everyone know about the film. We’re making it fun to help spread the word. We’re posting a series of 12 mini clips from the film called "The Little Red Truck Moments" on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. There are two moments posted now that you can watch, share, bookmark, comment on, etc.
