After several years in the making, we are excited to announce that Guide
Dogs for the Blind (GDB) is the subject of an award-winning, feature-length,
audio-described documentary titled, "Pick of the Litter."

Come join GDB's Windy City Alumni Chapter on Opening night in Chicago.

WHEN:  Saturday September 28, 2018, 7:30PM showing (run time is 81 minutes)

WHERE:  The Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave., Chicago, IL 60613.

Bring along a group of enthusiastic friends - and their guide dogs!
Exclusively on 9/28/18 at the 7:30pm showing, mention at the box office that
you are with Guide Dogs for the Blind, and your ticket will be reduced to
$9/ticket (regular $11/ticket).

 

Pick of the Litter follows a litter of GDB puppies on their journey to
becoming guide dogs. The puppies have been bred to have the temperament, the
intelligence, and the dispositions that will qualify them, to give us the
independent lifestyle we seek when we apply for a guide dog. Which puppies
will make the cut? Who are those puppy raisers we love so much? How do they
condition and cajole those tiny, adorable fluff balls to get them ready for
the all-important tests that select only the best? What is training like for
those gangly teen-agers who make the first cut? Who are the trainers, how do
they do it? And then, how does the magic of the match actually happen? This
is the movie that will answer all your questions and turn you into a giggly,
teary-eyed appreciative puddle of puppy love!

Plan to join us on 9/28/18 at 7:30PM. The film is audio-described, but the
theatre only has 4 devices to enable it. However there is an App for your
IPhone (Actiview-Movie Access app ) that is a fantastic solution for this!

In advance of attending a "Pick of the Litter" Screening:

.     Download the Actiview-Movie Access app from the Apple App Store on
your iPhone. 

.     Open the App and click on the PICK OF THE LITTER graphic and download
the assistive content of your preference. (e.g., audio description or
captioning).  

It's good to download the content at home as some theaters may not have
Wi-Fi.

Once you are in the Music Box:

.     Remember to bring your headphones and when the movie starts, hit the
button on the content you downloaded. The app will use your microphone to
sync with the movie, so be sure it is unobstructed. Once in sync, the
content will start on your iPhone.

 

Gumbo & I look forward to seeing you at the Music Box!

Warmly,

Pam-bo
