Sneak Peak Movie Event to Be Held Sunday in Ambler

A new film co-produced by a Hatboro-Horsham graduate will be shown during a special event this Sunday to benefit the Hatboro-Horsham Education Foundation.

“Against the Sun,” scheduled for a national release in selected cities on Jan. 24, is co-produced by Kurt Graver, a 2004 graduate of Hatboro-Horsham High School. The “Brunch and a Movie” fundraiser will be held on Jan. 18 at The Ambler Theater, 108 E. Butler Avenue, Ambler. Brunch begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by the film and discussion at 10:30 a.m.

The film tells the true story of three World War II Navy airmen who crash land their torpedo bomber in the South Pacific. “Against incredible odds, these three virtual strangers must survive storms, sharks, starvation and each other as they try to sail more than a thousand miles to safety,” an announcement about the event said.

Graver, the manager of development at The American Film Company in Santa Monica, Calif., will be the guest speaker at the fundraiser. After graduating from Hatboro-Horsham, Graver attended Fordham University, earning a degree in communications.

Tickets to the event are $35 and may be purchased at the Ambler Theater box office oronline by clicking here.

All proceeds benefit the Hatboro Horsham Education Foundation.
