"Crawford" in Crawford pics


"Crawford" director David Modigliani (pictured below) sent us these photos by Nathan Deibenow, which show the fabled Alamo Drafthouse Inflatable Screen in Crawford, TX.  The screen travels the Great State to towns without screens, or where the beautiful single-screen palaces have been taken over by Evangelicals.  There's a lot of those.

David's docu on the prez's inherited small-town screened in the Texas town to many of its subjects.  The doc premiered this year at SXSW.  From the AP story:
"Crawford" played on a 50-foot outdoor screen at the football field Sunday night because the one-stoplight town had no movie theater. About 300 people sat on blankets and lawn chairs on the warm, windy night and munched on $2 bags of popcorn sold at the entrance.
