Milk and Cookie Productions is holding a double movie feature at the Brattle Theatre this weekend. The showing will be on Sunday, July 20 at 11:00am and will feature two short films by the group.

First is an encore screening of last year’s The Quarter Life Crisis, which features musical contributions from both Elijah Wyman and Mr. Sister. Following is the premier of Skin and Bone, a short hospital drama that features instrumental versions of several tracks from Elijah Wyman‘s Butterfly Needles album and is even named after one of the tracks on that CD.

We hope to see you there!
