Ohio-made 'Dream Catcher' will premiere locally in Dayton

Ohio-born feature film The Dream Catcher will have its hometown premiere Nov. 4 at Dayton's Victoria Theatre.
The 7:30 p.m. screening will be preceded at 6 p.m. with a reception at the theater for cast, crew, friends and investors.
After the movie, the audience is invited to a party at Gilly's nightclub, Fifth and Jefferson streets in downtown Dayton; admission is free.
“We just want to have a celebration with the town because so many people were so helpful in getting the film made,” producer Steve Bognar says.
Yellow Springs' Little Art Theater will show the film Nov. 4-8.
No Cincinnati screening has been scheduled, though Mr. Bognar says the filmmakers hope to do so soon.
The movie, which earned Ed Radtke “best director” honors at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival earlier this year, has gone on to a string of festival appearances.
It won strong reviews in its festival appearances in Locarno, Deauville, Hamburg and Chicago. It screened Thursdayat the Raindance Film Festival in London. In November, it will be shown at the Rencontres Festival in Paris, a prestigious showcase for new filmmakers.
Other invitations have come from festivals in Brazil, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Spain and Egypt, though Mr. Radtke says he would not be able to accept all of them. Among other reasons, only one print of the film has been struck, so overlapping schedules cannot be accommodated.
Tickets for the Nov. 4 screening are $12, or $37 for the film plus the pre-screening reception. (937) 228-3630.
