      Stephen,

      We hope to get a Philly screening, but for now, I'm afraid Lancaster is the closest.

      Best,

      Doug

      Very excited to see this film. Hopefully, there will be a screening around Philadelphia. Lancaster, Pa is not that close.

The director, Doug Wilson comes to the film from a background of graphic design and letterpress printing. Born and raised in the Midwest, he has travel in his blood and has visited five continents.

His passion for the Linotype began seven years ago when he saw a Model 5 Linotype in action. He was instantly hooked and is now working on the film full-time. Along for this crazy journey are two of his good friends, Jess Heugel and Brandon Goodwin.
