The Movie Nerd Report: Holiday films, class screenings, a chance to meet the Movie Nerd

An opportunity to hear your resident #movienerd speak, here is your #movienerdreport!. This week includes a bit of self-promotion as I have been invited by the Cleveland Cinematheque (11610 Euclid Ave, Cleveland 44106) to conduct a post film Q&A on Thursday evening at 6:45 p.m. for a new film called “The Scout.” For those who don’t know, my day job at the Greater Cleveland Film Commission includes scouting for films so they hopefully shoot in Cleveland. So, I consider being asked to do this question-and-answer a high honor! This film is about a New York City location scout (Mimi Davila) spends a frantic day visiting strangers’ private apartments for a television pilot, quietly stepping into their lives while trying to figure out her own. The film also plays Sunday at 6:45 p.m.

Sky High: Goodyear Balloonists Made History in 1913

Goodyear balloonists Ralph H. Upson and R.A.D. Preston covered 384 miles during the 1913 Gordon Bennett Cup international balloon race, which they won. Here, they pose in front of the Goodyear balloon they piloted during the race — which started in Paris, France. They raced for over 43 hours and 30 minutes. The pair had built Goodyear’s first airships. Preston and Upson brought attention to Akron with their victory and aeronautic work at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Upson was the chief engineer of the aeronautics department for Goodyear from 1914 to 1920. Preston had a street named after him in Akron to honor the 1913 victory: Preston Avenue, which you might travel on today if you pass through the Goodyear Heights neighborhood.
