Indie film and food will converge this summer with the launch of
Film al Fresco, an outdoor film series presented by the Galleries at
Moore College of Art & Design. On four Fridays in June and July, Moore will dish up independent films by Philadelphia-area filmmakers and tasty street snacks from local food trucks. The series kicks off this Friday with
Locomotive, a 76 minute film about a straight-edge musician and his winding career path (directed by Jeremy Waltman; written by Adam Lucas).
