Saturday Night....

" The Petty Crimes Unit "
Episodes 1 & 2
7:30 p.m.
Admission is FREE

The Petty Crimes Unit is an independently shot comedy series about a three-man police unit, specializing in petty crimes, searching for a rogue toaster.

The series began with Episode I, "Th3rd Degree," as an entry in the South Carolina Arts Commission's 2005 Toaster Film Festival. As one of the winners of the festival, the filmmakers decided to continue the production with a second episode, "The Shell of a Man." This chapter continues to focus on a rogue toaster's crime of burning breakfast and leaving a trail of charred crumbs in its wake. The toaster is a Wanted appliance and only one cop has the dough-nuts to take him down. Captain SC (Benny Lee Smith) of the McClain County Police Department, a veteran of petty crime investigations, believes in truth, justice and a good pair of Ray-Bans.

The director of this venture is Brad Tinsley, a Clemson University graduate who studied at the New York Film Academy in Hollywood.

Benny Lee Smith, the lead, is Director of Public Relations at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte who has also appeared in numerous feature films including "Heavy Weights," "My Fellow Americans," and "Patch Adams."

Jose Franco, the film's producer, is the Entertainment Editor at the Spartanburg Herald-Journal and a film buff who has a weekly television spot on NewsChannel 7 discussing movies.

A short Q&A will follow the session.
