Saving Face Ticket Giveaway

By Scott Smith in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 2, 2005 3:23PM

When Chicagoist gets free stuff sent to its offices, our first thought is always “Can I sell this on Ebay for beer money?” If the answer is no then our next thought is “Can we give this away to readers without violating federal postal regulations?” If the answer is yes, we give it away on the site.

2005_06_02_savingface.jpgChicagoist is giving away a run-of-engagement pass for two to the movie Saving Face, the writing and directorial debut from Alice Wu starring Joan Chen. While the film deals with Chinese-Americans in particular, anyone who’s ever had to put their family before themselves will find something familiar in it.

The film opens on June 10th and the pass is good for admission for you and a friend on any weekday Monday through Thursday. Sign up below for your chance to win. The contest ends tomorrow and the winner will be notified via e-mail.
