This is The Moxie Springfield, MO's newest, coolest, smallest, most awesomest independent movie theater!

I set my camera down on the center line of the wet pavement, set the timer and watched cars streak by barely missing running over my sweet Digital Canon!

I went inside to meet the cool couple that own the theatre. They have a long wall that displays local artists. They are nice and sweet.

They also serve about 10 different beers all brewed in Missouri and a wide assortment of wines.

They also show locally produced features!

Like:

"My Boss is an Idiot"

After the unexpected death of his father, Andrew (Brandon Goodwin) has no choice but to take a break from college, come home and manage the family book store. His plans are further complicated when he is reunited with Jessica (Emma Chapman), his best friend from grade school who had always considered him her ticket out of town. Featuring music from great local bands So Many Dynamos, The Outlaw Sea, Jeremy Larson, Pretty / Ugly, The Professional Americans, and New Anthem.

Check out the trailer here.

And:

"Homemade Hillbilly Jam"

Set against the magnificient landscape of the Missouri Ozarks, Rick Minnich's film follows one beautiful day in the life of Springfield's Big Smith, a band that creates music true to its roots - and always brings the house down.

It was so exciting to see the town I grew up in (and couldn't wait to leave, because there wasn't anything cool here for me to do) has some really cool things now, like The Moxie!
