– First Tuesdays with The Midwest Independent Film Festival continue with the
Festival Premiere of Something Better Someplace Else on Tuesday, September 7th at

restlessness from 59 Films and writer-director Ron Lazzeretti features an all-star Chicago
cast, including Jenifer Tyler, Christian Stolte and David Pasquesi. Roger Ebert calls SBSE "a delightful film, and in some stretches, a flawless one (3 out of 4 stars)." Lazzeretti and
producer Ed Amaya of 59 Films will be in attendance for a post-screening discussion with
the audience.
Film Synopsis:
A bride
comes on to a priest in a motel room.
A bouquet of flowers
from a stranger takes on a life of its own.
A man's last day at the
office proves to be the longest day of all.
It's family moving day,
but no one's moving.
This is Something
Better Somewhere Else -
a collective tale of yearning and restlessness told through four distinct but
thematically linked stories.
Chicago writer-director Ron Lazzeretti collected two previously released
