Special Fundraising Event

Proceeds go to the Monroe County IU Alumni Association Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to local, IU-bound high school graduates
Voted one of the best sports films of all time, the Indiana classic Hoosiers tells the story of Norman Dale (Gene Hackman), invited to coach in Hickory, Indiana. Dale’s unconventional coaching style begins to irritate the team’s fans immediately, and it takes time for his team to adjust, but sure enough, they become better players.

Written and produced by Bloomington native Angelo Pizzo, and directed by IU Alumnus and now-Bloomington resident, David Anspaugh, Hoosiers was nominated for two Oscars.

* Tickets for IU Alumni Association members are $10 with proof of membership. alumni.indiana.edu/chapters/monroe

Filmmakers David Anspaugh and Angelo Pizzo are scheduled to be present for a Q&A following the film.

DAVID ANSPAUGH
An Indiana native and IU graduate, David Anspaugh began his career as a director for the hit television show Hill Street Blues, for which he won two Emmy Awards and a DGA award. His film directing debut, Hoosiers, won audiences and critics over and earned him an Independent Spirit Nomination for Best First Feature. He later went on to direct many films including Rudy and Moonlight and Valentino. David will begin teaching film production at IU’s Media School in January, 2015.

ANGELO PIZZO
Angelo Pizzo grew up in Bloomington, graduated from Indiana University, and returned to his hometown after 30 years in California. As the screenwriter and producer of Hoosiers, Rudy, and The Game of Their Lives, Pizzo’s love of sports has permeated his work. Hoosiers earned him a nomination for Best First Feature at the 1987 Independent Spirit Awards. His film, Paz, is in pre-production and his directorial debut, My All American, is in post-production.

Whosah

Flag-shipped by the uniquely playful, “Oxygen,” Whosah’s new record eclipses anything they have ever attempted. Moving forward, the group plans to hit the scene as hard as they can, playing any and every show, intentionally connecting with everyone they meet, and confidently capitalizing on every opportunity. In this endeavor they hope to start a lasting relationship with audiences in the Twin Cities while expanding to the larger Midwest.
