With unique production design that feels like a Wes Anderson-Dr. Seuss fever dream, Sacramento filmmaker Raul Gonzo’s short film Margo Hoo Couldn’t Sleep! will premiere at the Crest Theatre. Billed as a children’s movie fit for all ages, it follows the title character’s mischievous nighttime exploits in a town addicted to day-glo. Gonzo and a number of the cast and crew will host a Q&A sesh post-screening; they’re part of a community of camera-wielding artists in need of support. In the wake of the Lady Bird train, we should keep Sacramento cinema-crafters in the spotlight. Film is one of the most powerful forms of media, and Sacramento voices ought to be lifted up. 1013 K Street, margohoo.com.
