Los Angeles, CA and Tucson, AZ – (April 17, 2006) – Upstairs Film is pleased to announce that the music documentary High And Dry, a feature film exploring Tucson’s influential music scene, will have its official Arizona debut at the 15th annual Arizona International Film Festival. The premiere will take place on Friday, April 28th at 8:00 pm at The Screening Room in downtown Tucson. The film’s director Michael Toubassi will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.
“Tucson and its music scene has been a long time inspiration for me, so it’s exciting to bring High and Dry back to its home town,” said Michael Toubassi.
Directly following the screening of High And Dry, there will be a party at Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress Street, highlighted by performances from Howe Gelb, Chris Holiman, and Al Perry (who are all featured in High and Dry) as well as a solo performance by Tom Walbank.
