Aha. Perhaps the image of the steeple of Eliel Saarinen’s First Christian Church, in full color on the big screen, will prove inSPIRing . . . !

Let us know how it goes -- I mean, whether the movie is good.

"InSPIRing" ... I get it.

Friends of ours in Indianapolis who are involved there in public life
say that since this film has been showing
tourism in Columbus has increased 40%!

Saw the movie last night, beautifully shot, a bit dark a quirky, just the way I like them. Refreshing that a movie with Architecture as a backdrop and underlying theme had no annoying obligatory Wright references. Of course had he any examples in Columbus that might have been different.
I give it 2 cantilevered thumbs sideways.
