Tickets are $8.00 and are available from either Shady Records or Bel Air Luxury Cinema. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit The Verses Project, which is a branch of the Community Music School (CMS) – Detroit. This program works together with the Michigan State University School of Music as an innovative approach to engaging urban youth of the 21st century by teaching critical literacy skills through the art of songwriting and music production.

About the film:
The people of Detroit know 8 Mile as the city limit, a border, a boundary. It is also a psychological dividing line that separates Jimmy Smith Jr. (Eminem) from where and who he wants to be. A provocative fictional examination of a critical week in Jimmy’s life.

Rapper Eminem made his acting debut in 8 MILE as a semi-autobiographical movie that was filmed in Detroit. Along with its critical and box office success, Eminem won an Academy Award® for “Lose Yourself”, the first rap/hip-hop song to receive the honor. Directed by Academy Award® winner, the late Curtis Hanson, 8 MILE also starred Academy Award® winner Kim Basinger, Mekhi Phifer, Omar Benson Miller, Anthony Mackie and the late Brittany Murphy.
