The first 50 people to attend the screening will get free DVD copies of the films.
After the screenings, there will be a free workshop on the film industry, featuring filmmaker Tim Greene, several Detroit actors working in Hollywood and singer Beth Griffith, who served the stand-in for Whitney Houston in the upcoming movie “Sparkle.”
