Sometimes, I would skim the film lists of the other festivals, especially those in California, to get an idea of what might be scheduled in my part of the lower 48. It is unscientific and what plays at the other venues does not always mean it will reach the Music Box Theater. Sometimes, the local programmers insert themselves in the NC festival choices. In some markets, movies appropriate to the location will be added to the playlists. "Chicago Deadline" and "The Undercover Man" were a welcome discoveries for me. "Chicago Syndicate" not so much. It was a funny cheapie, but had little to recommend it and little to do with Chicago.
