## Caption

Did you know Barry Levinson’s 1987 film "Tin Men" was really about #formstone and that Hollywood didn’t think American audiences would understand what formstone is, so they switched it to a story about tin siding salesmen? "Little Castles: A Formstone Phenomenon" is a funny and charming short documentary about this Baltimore phenomenon (love it or hate it) and it features John Waters and other local favorites.
We're screening "Little Castles: A Formstone Phenomenon" [Directed by Lilian Bowers & Skizz Cyzyk]" for FREE next Saturday, October 22 as part of our 2016 Doors Open Baltimore/Maryland on Film III Day! Four other documentaries will also be shown between 2 and 4:30 pm, plus we're giving visitors a peek at the rarely seen Enoch Pratt House. Join us!
