"A Mighty Wind"

We're at the Town Hall in New York City for a concert memorializing folk music promoter Irving Steinbloom in "A Mighty Wind" (Warner Bros., 2003), Christopher Guest's satire of folk music songs and performers. The film features Bob Balaban, Parker Posey, Jane Lynch, Catherine O'Hara, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean and Eugene Levy.

When we go inside, we're at Orpheum Theatre, 842 S. Broadway in Los Angeles. Here it's a scene with Michael Hitchcock as the events liaison at Town Hall.
