A hilarious behind-the-scenes romp!
It is three weeks into shooting Gone With the Wind and everything is falling apart. To save the film, Producer David O. Selznick stops production, locks his director and screenwriter in his office, and forces them to rewrite the entire script in five days! Based on (mostly) true events, this riotous, high-stakes comedy about the chaos and genius of moviemaking will leave you laughing out loud! And cheering!

About Our Community Partner
Our Community Partner for Moonlight and Magnolias is The Amphibious Movie/Film Green Bay. The mission of Film Green Bay is to provide a rich cultural experience for our community and visitors while promoting Green Bay as a hub for filmmaking and film appreciation. “Amphibious: The Legend of Edgar Allen Long-Sleeves” is the story of a struggling high school freshman, Edgar Allen, born with Syndactyly (webbed fingers and toes). When his condition is discovered, he is bullied by some, but caring school staff offer him skills to adapt. The competitive swim coach helps him discover his gift is in the water, and soon he is smashing school records. The school and community start celebrating the very thing that made him feel isolated, and Edgar uses his influence to change how people treat one another.
