Madison Media Institute (MMI) graduate Nick
Rick will be screening his film "Ruthless... Life in Gangland" at the
Orpheum theatre Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 8:00PM. Rick is a Video Motion
Graphics graduate of MMI, director and co-writer of "Ruthless" which was
filmed on location in Madison.

MMI Spring 2009 Film Fest winner "Left is West" will be shown prior to the
"Ruthless" premiere. "Left is West" was created for an MMI student film
competition in which teams of students had 40 hours to conceptualize and
produce their own short film. "I'm so excited to see an MMI graduate not
only showcasing his talent but also extending an opportunity to current MMI
students," said MMI Student Advisor Mandy Niebuhr.
