Local Spotlight: Art house cinema 502 at 11:18 AM

Art house cinema opened on August 4th showing Rubin and Ed as their first film. Featuring everything from quirky movies like Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same to fascinating documentaries like Queen of the Sun and of course thrillers and horror films like Hobo with a shotgun and the perfect host. The art house cinema fills a void in Ogden that was otherwise only satisfied by driving to salt lake.

Yesterday i went with one of my friends to see 'queen of the sun', a beautiful documentary about colony collapse disorder. The art house is an unassuming building that i would have narrowly missed if it wasn't for the beautiful post for "queen of the sun" hanging in the window. Inside the building is narrow and cozy with exposed brick walls and barely 30 seats. Sitting in this tiny theater makes you feel like you found some sort of secret place, a welcome retreat from the overcrowded over-commercialized big box theaters.

I cant not wait to come to another movie and i hope this place sticks around for a long time. If you want to see a unique film, enjoy an intimate setting, meet amazing people and experience something new than you must visit the Art house cinema 501 at 158 Historic 25th St. Open everyday but Tuesday and only $8 per screening, $12 same day double feature, and $6 reverse matinee there really isn't a reason not to go.

check out their kickstarter fundraiser and help them get better equipment!

Monday: zucchini, movies in the park and hops at 9:01 AM

Today is Monday and i am feeling pretty positive. I have been having a tough time finding a job so i have decided to take charge and do something about it. When the going gets tough, the tough get creative. I am excited about all the things i now feel capable of doing and hopefully this will turn everything around. WooHoo for believing in myself!

Yesturday i biked the river parkway until we found a nice play spot and then jumped in the river. I am so glad the river is finally low enough to wade in, it was cold as hoth but well worth the dip. I want to encourage everyone to hop on their bike and check out the river parkway, it is so amazing right now. But be safe, the river is still unpredictable.

In other news i have officially decided to give myself a little break from indie Ogden. Working 6 hours a day on a blog 6 days a week (last month i finally gave myself Sundays off) while being a stay at home mom is a bit draining. Don't worry, this blog isn't going anywhere but it IS getting BIGGER! I launched a search and found 4 amazing people to join the indie Ogden team and i am excited to meet with them and see what happens. I am one step closer to achieving my goal of making Indie Ogden into a local magazine! I have a vision and i have the drive ( thanks to coffee) and i am determined to make this happen.

I want to give a hearty thank you to everyone who encouraged me to keep going, all the local businesses who have supported me and to Ogden for being so awesome.

Oh! one last thing! Ogden Utah has its very own Indie film theater!!! Go check out Art house 502 and see a rad movie! no longer will you have to travel to slc, support local.
