Brothers Chris Farah and Mike Farah premiered the movie many were calling “a love story to Ann Arbor” on Friday night at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The film stars Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs, Ugly Betty), Arielle Kebbel (True Blood) as well as famous University of Michigan professor Ralph Williams. Supporting cast includes Nelson Franklin, Kip Pardue and Chris Parnell.
Said Gorham, “I’m so happy that this audience loves this movie. The whole film is a love letter to the people and the city…it’s a great place.”
The film centers around competitive pub trivia and Paul Tarson (Gorham), a Michigan grad student trying to escape the shadow of his famous professor-father (Williams).
The residents of Ann Arbor stepped out and dressed up, coming out in full force. With the first screening completely sold out, a second screening was added and the stars were on hand to enjoy the film with the audience.
At the after party, Gorham, Kebbel, Williams and many Ann Arbor locals who appeared in the film mingled with friends and fans alike. Gorham and Kebbel posted graciously with fans throughout the night while chatting and enjoying the evening.
It was a night that will not be forgotten anytime soon. And, the premiere is just one of many reasons why Michigan residents are excited about the tax incentive that is bringing much of Hollywood to the state.
