L.A. Gather Movie Lovers: Press Day and Screening for "Once"

ATTENTION MOVIE LOVERS:

Gather is looking for a Gather member from L.A. to attend a press day and screening for the new movie "Once". Though the movie doesn't open until May 18th, you could get a sneak peak!
  

Not only will you get to see the movie, but at the press day you will be treated to a live performance of songs from the soundtrack! 

ONCE, set in the streets of modern day Dublin, is the story of the Guy (Glen Hansard) who works part-time helping his father run a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, but aspires to one day have his songs recorded and land a record deal. Emotionally vulnerable, he is still coming to terms with a recent break-up and lacks the conviction and passion to move on in his pedestrian life.
 
One day while performing on Dublin's trendy Grafton Street, he meets the Girl (Marketa Irglova), an Eastern European immigrant who has moved to Dublin to start a new life for herself.  She is struggling financially and yearns for what she cannot afford - the piano that helps her escape from the daily grind of finding her way through this strange new land.  She too longs for something more in life.
 
As the Guy and the Girl’s lives begin to intertwine over the course of an intense few days, their relationship develops as they share their music, create songs, forge a band and record a demo album.  This brings them both much needed direction in their artistic and personal lives.  Their shared love of music causes them to flourish and take a chance on each other and a new beginning on life.
