Alert reader Tim has alerted us to a screening of a movie called “The Summer of Walter Hacks,” which is directed and co-written by George Woodard, who played J.K. Robertson (aka “Bob Evil”) in the movie in episode 821- TIME CHASERS.
George has been a busy dairy farmer/independent film maker in Vermont for quite a long time. This indie film he directed was filmed in and around Waterbury a couple years ago. They debuted it last year, but will be showing it again this weekend. Here’s the website to Woodard’s company with plenty of info on the film: http://www.pastureproductions.com. It’ll be showing at the Thatcher Brook Primary School, 47 Stowe St., on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. Admission is $5. All proceeds will go towards rebuilding Waterbury. Hurricane Irene flooded the whole downtown, destroying homes and businesses this past August. The town is hanging in the balance since the flooding decimated much of Vermont’s state office complex, so this fundraiser looks to help out those affected. I’m a resident of Waterbury and I can attest to things not having been the same since late August. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard good things. Hopefully it’s good and not MST3K ‘good’.”
