‘CinemaKC’ moves to 6 p.m. Saturdays on KSMO-TV
Who doesn’t enjoy dinner and a movie?
Film fans can put the two together in an appetizing new way starting Sept. 24 when “CinemaKC,” featuring Kansas City area filmmakers, moves from 9:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays on KSMO-TV, Channel 62. (Programs will be repeated at midnight on Sundays.)
Each half-hour show highlights shorts by area filmmakers who are deftly interviewed about their live-action and animated stories encompassing drama, comedy, romance, science-fiction and horror, as well as documentary and student-produced projects.
“We hope the earlier broadcast time slot introduces the show to an even broader range of potential regular viewers,” says executive producer Jerry Rapp.
The “CinemaKC” TV series, now in its second successful season, is produced by CinemaKC, a non-profit organization that promotes filmmakers in Missouri and Kansas.
