One Hit Wonders: 2015 Wisconsin Film Festival Highlights With Only One Screening

EIFF2011-polyester-odorama1One Hit Wonders: Highlights Without Repeat Screenings at 2015 Wisconsin Film Festival

Before tickets go on sale tomorrow, it is worth noting a few titles that will only have one screening and thus are likely to sell out quickly. I will also point out a few titles that do have repeats, but the second screening will be early on weekdays, which weekday working folks will be likely to miss.

If you want to get tickets to these screenings, I would advise purchasing them soon after they go on sale on Saturday, March 14 at noon.

This is not an exhaustive list of single screenings, just the ones that I think will sell out very quickly.
