May 16: Away We Go by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, Directed by Sam Mendes

Download Just heard from Sarah Pollock, director of development at 826NYC about this screening at BAM of a new film directed by Sam Mendes and written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. It's a benefit for 826NYC, which runs the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Store and tutoring space on Fifth Avenue.

You may have seen this already, but I thought I'd share. It's going to be a great event for a great cause on May 16th at 7 p.m. at BAM. Tickets $30 or $150 (which includes VIP after-party).
This
is a fun, huggable kind of movie starring John Krasinski and Maya
Rudolph as a couple expecting their first child, going in search of the
perfect place to raise their family. Director Sam Mendes and husband
and wife screenwriting team Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida will be on
hand for a Q&A and Cocktail Reception at this Pre-Release Screening
at BAM. 
All the proceeds of ticket sales will go to supporting the free creative writing programs for kids 6 – 18 at 826NYC
