On Thursday, July 16th, Indie Memphis and The Brooks continue their year-round collaboration with the Memphis premiere of VISIONEERS, a quirky black comedy set in the near-future concerning a curious spike in cases of spontaneous human combustion.

The Brooks and Indie Memphis team up again to present this Sundance Film Festival favorite. ART & COPY reveals the stories behind and the personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of our time and their campaigns, including Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod); Dan Wieden (”Just Do It”); Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol); Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected); and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).

What: VISIONEERS
When: 7:30 pm, Thursday, July 16th
Where: Brooks Museum of Art
Admission: $5 / FREE for Indie Memphis members and members of The Brooks.

The Brushmark Restaurant will be open for dinner. Please call 901-544-6225 for reservations

But when people begin literally exploding due, Jeffers Corporation Level Three TUNT George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach Galifianakis) begins to fear that his time will come sooner rather than later.
