Fresh from it's World Premiere at the San Francisco's Docfest in October, Mark Wojahn's new documentary, Trampoline, will have its Midwest & Minnesota Premiere at the classic Heights Theater at 7:30pm, in two weeks on November 17th.
 
A comment from the audience in San Francisco,

"Trampoline is what you imagine it would have been like if they filmed the Replacements when it all began. A Minneapolis youth culture classic. I was pulling for these kids."

The documentary has a great Minnesota soundtrack from the bands; the Red Pens, Aby Wolf, Mystery Palace, M.anifest and Solid Gold. It's wonderful sound score was composed by the Minneapolis Ashe & Spencer's, Richard Werbowenko.

The film has already been receiving Spirit Award votes for the Chaz and Roger Ebert Truer than Fiction Award.

Programmer Fay Dearborn said this about Trampoline, "Thank you so much for sending us your film "Trampoline," which we would be thrilled to screen as part of our San Francisco DocFest. I loved the very personal, dramatic quality of the film and I think it would be very well-received here in SF by our audiences. "
