It’s hard to tell the old from the new sometimes.

In the 10 years since Chagrin Falls native and resident Tyler Davidson turned 26, he has produced four movies. His most recent, Take Shelter, has played at three of the most prestigious film festivals in the world — Cannes, Sundance and Toronto — winning awards at Cannes, gaining a major distributor, Sony Pictures Classics, just before Sundance, and garnering rave reviews from many national publications.
Shot entirely in Northern Ohio, Take Shelter, written and directed by Oscar winner Jeff Nichols, features two of today’s hottest movie actors, Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. The movie has opened in several cities, with many more to come. It previews Thu 10/27, at the Cleveland Cinematheque — the film’s Ohio premiere. Then it opens at the Cedar Lee Theater the next night, Fri 10/28.
Davidson will be on hand to introduce the film at the Cinematheque, and also for Q&As at the Cedar Lee for the 7PM Friday showing and the 4:20PM Saturday showing, as well as introducing the film at the 7PM Saturday showing.
Cool Cleveland’s David Budin caught up with the busy filmmaker recently to talk to him about Take Shelter. Watch the video here.

There are no problems only solutions.Tim is correct, take control of Congress First, expose and shame those who are the minions of the rich and corporations and continue to use the vote to get enough candidates to pass the legislation in veto proof majorities in both houses…
