Notre Dame High School alum Mark Binelli (1988) will be moderating a question-and-answer session in Ann Arbor later this month with the producer and cast members of the filmed-and set-in-Detroit cable drama "Low Winter Sun," which premieres in August on AMC.
Binelli is author of "Detroit City is the Place to Be," his second book, published last year. He was featured in the spring 2013 edition of IRISH magazine, a publication by the Notre Dame Alumni Association.
The Q&A will follow an advanced screening of the premiere episode, which will be held at 8 p.m., July 29, at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. The screening and Q&A will be simulcast to more than 20 other theaters across the country.
"Low Winter Sun" executive producer Chris Mundy and cast members Mark Strong ("Zero Dark Thirty," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") and Lennie James ("The Walking Dead") will be on hand to answer questions from Binelli and audience members. There is no charge for the event, but donations will be accepted for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
