Tyler Film Festival to host free outdoor Dino Double Feature at True V

The Tyler Film Festival is bringing movie night back outside for another summer screening under the stars. 

On Friday, June 12, the Tyler Film Festival will host a free outdoor Dino Double Feature in partnership with True Vine Brewing Co. and the East Texas Film Society. The event begins at 8 p.m. at True Vine Brewing Co., located at 2453 Earl Campbell Parkway. 

This unique outdoor screening will feature live commentary and movie riffing from local film enthusiasts Zachary Santschi, Trevor Hicks, and Skylar Flores, turning the double feature’s campy, prehistoric charm into an interactive night of laughs. 

The evening will include two dinosaur-themed films: 

• Tammy and the T-Rex: An evil scientist implants the brain of murdered high-school student Michael into a Tyrannosaurus. He escapes, wreaks vengeance on his high-school tormentors, and reunites with his sweetheart Tammy.  

• The VelociPastor: After losing his parents, a priest travels to China, where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. 

This is the second year the Tyler Film Festival has partnered on a summer movie event at True Vine. Last year, the festival hosted an outdoor screening of Troll 2, bringing local film fans together for a casual night of community and conversation.
