$5.00

Alchemy, Inc., a Copley-based nonprofit offering school-based youth mentoring programs for urban
adolescent males, in partnership with Christy Creative LLC, presents the Ohio premiere of Finding Joe on Friday,
June 22, 6:30 p.m., at Musica, 51 East Market Street in downtown Akron. 

Finding Joe explores the studies of famed mythologist Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) and his continuing influence on our culture.  Through interviews with visionaries from a variety of fields and enactments of classic tales, the film navigates the stages of Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey”:  the challenges, fears, dragons and battles faced, before returning home a changed person.  Through personal accounts and stories, Finding Joe shows the relevance of Campbell’s work in today’s world and provides a narrative for living a fully realized life – or how to “follow your bliss.”  Featuring Deepak Chopra, Rashida Jones, Tony Hawk, Robert Walter, Sir Ken Robinson, Lynne Kaufman, Brian Johnson, Joseph Marshall III, Rebecca Armstrong, and many more.  For more on the film, visit www.findingjoethemovie.com. 

Filmmaker Patrick Takaya Solomon and Robert Walter, President of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, will also be on hand for a dialogue facilitated by event emcee Heather Burns.

The event is open to the general public.  Enjoy a meet and greet with special guests and the Alchemy team, light appetizers and cash bar beginning at 6:30 p.m.;
program and film at 7:15 p.m. 

Tickets are $5 per person and available through the Musica website, www.akronmusica.com.  For more information visit Alchemy, Inc. or the Finding Joe event page on Facebook.
