One Fast Move or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur – Coming Home
Aug. 14 event planned for Henry Miller Library
An outdoor dinner, concert, and screening of the feature length documentary, One Fast Move or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur (Kerouac Films/Atlantic Records), is set for 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 14, 2010, at Big Sur’s Henry Miller Library.
The movie, a seminal film about beat generation writer Jack Kerouac, was filmed in part in local Big Sur settings. The Monterey County Film Commission assisted the production company with film locations and local resources. The film features Tom Waits, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Sam Shepard and Patti Smith.
A concert by recording artists/musicians Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard, who collaborated to create the film’s soundtrack, will precede the screening.
Grapes of Wrath will cater a buffet dinner, promising some of the best food the coast has to offer, served by the firm’s owner Dana Godbe who appears in the film and was a neighbor of Kerouac when he spent time in Big Sur.
“No doubt this will be the event of the season for the Henry Miller Library,” said Magnus Torén, executive director of the Henry Miller Library. “The idea to get together to play music, share food, and present the film, One Fast Move or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur, has its genesis in the love of literature and music, and the urge to bring the film ‘home’ to Big Sur.”
Attendees will enjoy the company of many people involved in making the film, such as producers Jim Sampas, Gloria Bailen, Orian Williams, and director Curt Worden, plus musicians Farrar and Gibbard.
The event will be a memorable night under the stars. The Henry Miller Library is an ideal venue for the evening, with its natural amphitheatre surrounded by redwoods, and its deep Big Sur art and literary history.
