On Wednesday, July 19 at 7pm, the Hudson Valley Film Commission and Tinker Street Cinema will present a special screening of Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road at the Tinker Street Cinema, 132 Tinker Street, Woodstock, NY. The screening will feature special guest, Woodstocker, executive producer and Rolling Stone Magazine editor, Jason Fine. An exclusive video intro from Brian Wilson will precede the screening.

The documentary follows Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, on an intimate journey through his legendary career as he reminisces with Rolling Stone editor and longtime friend, Jason Fine.

Wilson and Fine are featured driving around Los Angeles chatting about triumphs, setbacks, death, disaster, rebirths, and legacy. The documentary also features a new song, "Right Where I Belong," written and performed by Wilson and Jim James (My Morning Jacket), and interviews with Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Jonas, Linda Perry, Jim James, Gustavo Dudamel, and Al Jardine.

"I'd say that it was the music of The Band and Dylan and jazz guys like Don Cherry that drew me to Woodstock many years ago," says Jason Fine. “Long before that, growing up in Southern California, it was The Beach Boys that got me into music in the first place. So it's cool to bring the Brian Wilson movie to Woodstock, connecting the dots of my own musical journey and sharing it with the community I love so much."

Hudson Valley Film Commission executive director Laurent Rejto was following the film and reached out to Jason Fine about a potential hometown screening.

“It was one of those perfect connections,” Rejto recalls. “When I reached out to Andy Braunstein at Tinker Street about a possible screening, he replied by sending me a photo of himself and his dad Mark, hanging out with Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. He also included a photo of the tattoo on his arm, which simply reads, The Beach Boys.”

As it happens, Andy Braunstein, who runs the Tinker Street Cinema, also grew up a fan of The Beach Boys. He was psyched about the intro and the upcoming screening “There will always be a place for brother Brian in this theater,” Braunstein added. “It’s perfect for our programming which focuses on classic, weird and cult cinema – the way it should be!”
