The Tinderbox Movie Premiere

Based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Tinderbox is a comedy set in modern-day Butte, using the city as its backdrop. It stars Mike Nance, Mike Verdon, Brin Merkley, Danny Felix, Amber Rose Mason, Andree O’Shea, Rob Cox, Craig LeDouceur, Kevin George, John Emeigh, and Alicia Knievel-Vincent.
Directed by Elizabeth Cox and the late David L. Butler (whose cinematographic credits include Apocalypse Now, Terminator 2, The Black Stallion, The Blues Brothers, and countless other films), The Tinderbox tells the story of a shell-shocked soldier who returns home to Butte and falls in love with a beautiful young woman who is kept locked in a tower by her paranoid father. Wracked by poverty and mental illness, the soldier can only dream of being with his love.
One cold, dark night he discovers that the old tinderbox on his mantel will summon an oversized, inebriated leprechaun who can bring him anything he desires in the twinkling of an eye. (rated PG-13)
An after party follows at the Elks Club.
