In anticipation of the 25th anniversary year of Home Alone, two young women with Guttenberg roots filmed a full-length reinterpretation of the 1990 holiday classic, playing almost every character themselves. Liz Smith and Kari Houghtelling filmed over a three-day weekend during the Polar Vortex of 2014, using Guttenberg as the backdrop for the majority of scenes.
About 140 people attended the red carpet premiere of this film, an event to honor Christmas, friendship, ingenuity, community, and family. The premiere was hosted by Shepherd Gallery and Creativity Center in the adjacent Rathskeller, the former location of the popular 1970s bar, on Friday, December 19.
