Morton Meets the Eye gives a Connecticut film historian an East Coast premiere

The musical comedy was filmed in California, but its East Coast premiere at Sacred Heart University’s Community Theatre connected the film to Fairfield audiences and a Connecticut film historian who has hosted classic screenings locally.

The premiere included a behind-the-scenes conversation with the producer, director, and cast and benefited WSHU Public Radio.

It is a useful example of how Connecticut’s venues and film communities can serve as premiere, conversation, and fundraising partners even when a project was shot elsewhere.
