A Bag of Hammers
(2012) Directed by Brian Crano
Tuesday - September 25 - 7:00 p.m.
Two charming grifters, Ben (Jason Ritter) and Alan (Jake Sandvig), have built a larcenous business
posing as car valets, only to steal the vehicles instead of parking them. Because of their less-than-ideal
upbringing and a "job" that allows them to remain likeable boyish rogues, their penchant for crime
is almost forgivable. However, everything changes when they meet a 12-year-old boy named Kelsey.
Neglected by his mother, Kelsey is drawn to Ben and Alan and they to him - and eventually, Kelsey
becomes part mascot, part protégé. His presence ultimately forces Alan and Ben to choose between
a life of carelessness and the opportunity to grow up and deal with the emotional consequences that
come with it. (HD Cam. 85 min. Not rated.)
Director Brian Crano is scheduled to be present.
