Parking Lot Movie on PBS
Write a letter to the editor
Documentary filmmakers dream of finding a wide audience for their work, and for the directors of The Parking Lot Movie, that dream comes true with the Tuesday, October 19 national airing of the film on PBS as the premiere of the Independent Lens series. If you can’t catch the 10pm showing— on WVPT here in Charlottesville— it’s not your last chance. PBS has a three year license, and according to Parking Lot Movie director Meghan Eckman, that could mean exposure to as many as 60 million viewers. If you’d rather see it on the big screen, The Parking Lot Movie will show at 9:30pm on Friday, November 5 at Vinegar Hill Theater as part of the Virginia Film Festival.
I think they took the change and a CD out of my car this one time.
Does anyone really want to see this?
i do
Like most other featured programs on PBS, this will actually be shown multiple times on each PBS channel next week. Some of these times are inconvenient to watch, but great for DVR or VCR recording.
Tuesday 10/19, 10 pm on WVPT (antenna 51.1, cable 11, HD cable 219) and WHTJ-HD (antenna 41.1, cable 220)
Tuesday 10/19, 11 pm on WHTJ-DT2 (antenna 41.2, cable 7)
Wednesday 10/20, 1 am (immediately after the above) on WHTJ-DT2
Thursday 10/21, 3 am on WHTJ-HD
Friday 10/22, 10 pm on WVPT
After that, it’ll probably be available for some period of time on the PBS online video site. It might show up as a re-run as well, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Also, note that you can get a listing of upcoming times for any PBS program from the website for that station (whtj.org, wvpt.net) — just go to their listings page, search for the program, and click “broadcast times” in the results listing.
I won this movie last night at Art Drinks for PCA,
you ROCK Meghan.
RE: Does anyone really want to see this?
Me. I’ll be using it as artistic inspiration for my upcoming feature projects “Speed Bump, Hilarious!” and “Behind the Dryer”.
Word is that our Barrister Nonpareil Mr. Cuccinelli is sniffing around in hopes of bringing fraud charges against the makers of this film.
I’ll be watching.
I’ll be watching. I had worked at The Corner since 1976 until recently. It ought to be a hoot!
