Movie Fans Pack Screening for David Lynch’s ‘Wild at Heart’
The movie-loving Maplewood community showed off its independent spirit and desire to watch movies together on Friday night, May 16, at Wild at Heart: A Tribute to David Lynch, presented by The Maplewood Film Society with support from the Maplewood Division of Arts & Culture.
More than 220 guests filed into the Woodland for the sold-out screening of Lynch’s film, Wild at Heart, on a big screen. “This is the only David Lynch film that is not streaming on platform,” said Maplewood Film Society co-founder Angela Matusik.

About the Maplewood Film Society
It all began with a conversation among friends, bonding over how much we miss having a movie theater in our town.
We quickly found out we were not alone in this sense of loss, and pulled together an incredible community of like-minded movie lovers in the SoMA region.
Because movies are in Maplewood’s DNA, and have been a part of our history for over 92 years.
