Venue and Date

Hi Everyone,

Great news for everyone who's interested in coming to the Sydney screening. We have finally found a venue for the screening, and have also pinned down a date! The date will be on Saturday, the 28th of March, 2009. It is about 8 weeks away....not that long to go. Oh, and the screening will start at 7:00 pm.

The venue is at the University Hall, University of Technology Sydney (UTS) at the corner of Harris and Thomas St, Ultimo.

Click here for a link to the venue's website.

Hope to see all of you there!

  5. Hi Everyone, you would definitely be able to buy tickets beforehand. At this stage, we're looking at the best way to organise payment over the net. We will get back to you as soon as we've come to a decision.

  7. Cilla & Shann you ladies are brilliant! Thank you so much for organising this event I bet it's taken up a fair amount of your time. Any more word on the rating of the movie - I really want to bring my daughter (almost 18 years old)

    Can't wait!!

  10. Hey everyone!
    Thanks a lot for your support :)
    Someone asked for a rating...well, we're in the process of getting the film rated.
    But since I've watched the film many, many times, I can guarantee that the film's not going to be rated 'R'. There are brief drug use, a couple of curse words, alcohol drinking, and a brief scene of violence. But that's just from my observation. We'll tell you what exactly the rating once we get it.

    Many thanks,
    Shann

  11. about the rating since you said theres only a few drug use, couple of cussing and that it should be just maybe M ;\ .. its not like theres lots of sex scenes right? .. also

    Would it be okay if you guys can also find a way to get reservations without using it through the net. ( aka.. buying tickets through paypal?) .. Anyways that would be great if you guys can do that (: , but you dont have to do that if thats a hassel (:

    thanks.

    looking foward to watching it.

  12. Great job, ladies!

    That's awesome! And it's even close to home!!! :D Speaking of which, being in the area, I can pay cash and in person (I'd rather not use my credit card, if possible).

    My friend and I can't wait to see this film! :D

    ReplyDelete
  16. would it be possible to reserve a ticket right now? :D
    I've been waiting for this movie for a year now and got completely shot down when I found it didn't get into the Sydney Film Festival so... this would make my life (nearly) complete :')

    Thanks so much for organising this guys!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow!!! This is awesome. Thanks for organizing guys. How do we go about getting tickets?

  21. Any news on how to purchase tickets ??

    ReplyDelete
  22. Can tickets be bought before the night??

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi Everyone,

    I'm so excited that everyone's so excited! Does that make any sense?? LOL.

    You can definitely buy tickets before the night. At the moment, we are discussing the best way to organise this..but we hope to post and update you as soon as we can.

    In terms of the movie rating, I have just sent an application to the Classification Board to lower the rating to M (15+). I'm crossing my fingers now and hoping that they'd approve.

    ReplyDelete
  24. hahaha then what was the rating before?? :D
    and would it be possible to reserve a ticket right now, in the case that i might suddenly have no internet access for the next week or so? (we're swapping plans)
    If that'd be possible, it would be greatly appreciated - if you need it, my email is rinoahsan@hotmail.com
    Thanks! :D

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ah - that's what we are all afraid of - not getting the tickets!!!!! Cilla you are a champion and I understand why you are excited about our excitement. 28 March will be a great night & I better be there - hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm excited! I know lots of people who would like to come. how many does the theatre hold?

  27. Hi Steph, the theatre holds about 400 people....

    Ohh, and if you happen to love The Roches, shops like JB Hi-Fi and stuff are now accpeting orders for their CD's. I ordered mine last week ^_^

  34. I want to come over from New Zealand to see it. Is that crazy? Haha I really hope I can make it. I don't want to miss this one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not crazy case. I'm coming from Bris. If I was in NZ, I'd come from there. I have been waiting like 8 months for this!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Case, Josh and Emma,
    I can't wait to see you guys in Sydney. If I were living anywhere else in Australia and someone else is organising this..I'd do my best to get there as well. I've been waiting to see this movie on the big screen since I saw the trailer last June. I almost cried watching the trailer..and that almost never happens.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You're not crazy, my friend and I are planning on coming from Perth. I've been waiting so long to see the film, I'm so grateful that this screening as been organised :-)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well my friend and i plan to come from the Gold Coast...which isnt that far but still...and we would prob leave sat morning.....because we have school on fri....So when do you think tickets will be available??

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yay! I am so excited! Watch out Sydney! The crazy kiwi gal is coming! :D

    Yeah, any idea when tickets go on sale because I don't want to book my airfares until I can guarantee a ticket!

    Oh man! I feel like I am about to burst!

    ReplyDelete
  40. YAY! My friend and I will fly up from Melbourne to come. But oh please, tell me you can do this for Little Ashes too!! I'm desperate to see that movie!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I second that about "Little Ashes", I'm really looking forward to that one, even more than "How To Be", I confess! That is one really challenging role, I reckon! :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yes! I love the trailer for little ashes..although i am a bit disturbed how hes gay in it....and i heard its rated R??? Because of the sex scenes or something?? But i wouldnt mind watching it :D

    ReplyDelete
  43. I am SO hanging to see this movie!! Count me in for 2 tix. Can't wait for more news re screening ;p
    Cheers
    Sam

    ReplyDelete
  44. I imagine Little Ashes may be released through the arthouse cinemas in Sydney ie. Academy/Palace & I too hear that it will be R rated. It's US release is mid March so I hope we will get it a month later as per usual. Cilla - will you be letting us know when the tickets might go on sale - I too only need 2 tickets!

    ReplyDelete
  45. NOOOOOO!!!
    I leave to go back home to England on that day!
    My life is officially over.


    Oh wel, I guess I'll just have to roam the streets on London and try to kidnap the real thing.
    I hope you guys have a good night anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Did everybody hear the awesome news? Little Ashes is coming to Australia in march too!! How fabulous would it be if we could all see How To Be and then go see Little Ashes straight after? THAT would officially be the best day of the year...well maybe a draw for best day with new moon.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Where did you hear that? Google only comes up with a supposed Australia release date of 19 Dec 09? But there's nothing on imdb website that confirms any release dates other than US and Spain. If it was March it would be awesome. Sorry we've gone off topic of How To Be - but its hard not to get carried away when Rob is involved!

  49. Hope we can get tickets before hand! My friends and I are coming up from Melbourne!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Cilla, I know that you're in Sydney so it would be a bit difficult to get a How to Be screening in Melbourne, but if you are considering it a perfect venur would be a lecture theatre at Melbourne University. I've never organised an event before so I wouldnt know where to begin. But if it is at all possible that somebody could have a screening here in Melbourne thatd be soo amazing. I dont think I can make it to Sydney and its breaking my heart :(

    ReplyDelete
  51. Btw I go to Melb Uni so I could help with organising a melb screening if thats at all possible.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Perhaps asking for a more personal way to chat to Cilla would be better for those trying to organise a Melbourne viewing. =D
    If Little Ashes is planned for a similar viewing, I'd personally be happy to fund it, I'm just totally clueless as to how to organise such a thing.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Okay, so before I book my plane tickets from New Zealand to get to this baby - can someone please just confirm that this is definitely happening and that I can be guaranteed a ticket?!

    I really want to get my tickets and accom booked sooner rather than later.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dear Case,

    This is really happening :)

    Sincerely,
    Shann

    ReplyDelete
  55. Could somebody please tell me how much this will cost?? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  56. Erin, good idea :) Just sent an email to Cilla.

    ReplyDelete

    But this is so awesome......

    YAYA.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Bugger...are there any further planned screenings??? I am in Brisbane...are there any screenings there??? Plus, the only DVDs of the film to buy that I can tell are in UK format and probably won't work on Australian DVD players. Is this right??
