Twenty years ago, BMW carved a spot in Hollywood history with a series of action-packed short films distributed on the internet, years before the invention of YouTube.
Named The Hire, these weren’t commercials of well-waxed cars darting about on curved mountain roads, they were mini-movies executive produced by David Fincher and Ridley Scott, with A-list directors like John Woo (Mission Impossible: 2) and Tony Scott (Top Gun), John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate), Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Wong Kar-Wai (Chungking Express), Guy Ritchie (Snatch), and Alejandro González Iñárritu (The Revenant).
Now all nine films in the series come to The Parkway Theater for a special evening with some of the creators behind these iconic shorts.
Running collectively at 90 minutes in length, each film will be screened individually along with a brief introduction and story behind its making.
A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Street Survival, a safe teen defensive driving program.
Sponsored by Street Survival.org, North Star Chapter BMW Car Club of America, and Fallon.
