Crumpler is thrilled to be premiering our new cinema commercial at the upcoming Speakeasy Cinema launch screening of Wholphin No. 14. Speakeasy Cinema crosses a big screen with a dive bar, a cafe and a creative studio. It’s inspired partly by Austin’s Alamo Drafthouses, partly by the best of Melbourne’s lo-fi drinking dens, and partly by the risk-everything attitude of 1920s saloon keep Mary Louise Cecilia “Texas” Guinan, who had never heard of a cup holder. It’s not illegal, but it is worth keeping to yourself.

Launched in 2009, Speakeasy screens at various locations around Melbourne’s inner city. The program is focused on the weird, the wonderful and the hard-to-find, sometimes screening titles that don’t make it to local cinemas at all. In the vaudeville spirit of the speakeasy, you might also catch a director Q&A, a short film or, if you’re early, a spot on Texas Guinan’s knee.

When: Sunday 6th November, doors 7pm, shorts start at 7:30pm and run for 90-ish mins.
Where: The Buffalo Club, 22 Sutherland Street, Melbourne
Tickets: $12+bf from Moshtix or at the door. www.speakeasycinema.com.au
