This month, David Martin Design, under the dedicated stewardship of founder David Martin, is excited to announce the integration of team member, IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering alumni, Jarod Maxwell. An expert in Web Design, Graphic Design, and Digital Marketing Strategy, Jarod has a proven track record in achieving measurable results for clients in a diverse range of industries. Jarod started his journey at David Martin Design in May 2022. Unable to locate an internship that aligned with his ambitions, he proactively reached out to the local Web Design and Digital Marketing firm, David Martin Design. This initiative transformed into a valuable opportunity for all parties. Jarod gained hands-on experience and knowledge, taking the skills he learned from the classroom and applying them to real-life clients, thus significantly enhancing his professional portfolio. David Martin Design, in return, benefited from Jarod’s innovative ideas, technical proficiency, and ability to understand and address customer needs effectively.

“Oh Hai, Bloomington!” Constellation Stage & Screen is excited to present an interactive screening of the BEST bad film of all time: The Room. This year, Constellation is offering not one, but two opportunities to see this once-in-a-generation sensation. Referred to as “the Citizen Kane of bad movies,” The Room even inspired a hit Hollywood film, The Disaster Artist, starring James Franco as enigmatic auteur Tommy Wiseau. Tickets are on sale now through the Constellation Stage & Screen box office - prices go up at the door, so be sure to book in advance to save!
Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, The Room has screened for decades at rep theaters across the country, becoming one of the biggest cult films of all time. Written, directed, and produced by Tommy Wiseau, this $6 Million semi-autobiography features a bonkers plot, endlessly quotable lines, highly questionable acting, and some of the most “intense” football action in movie history. The Room is a crap-tastic masterpiece of WTF cinema that demands to be seen with a large group. Do not miss your chance to see The Room on the big screen, just as Tommy intended… Celebrating outstanding RE/MAX Realty Professionals agents for their remarkable achievements. Congratulations to Chairman's Club member Jim Regester, Platinum Club members Ron Plecher, Lesa Miller, Beth Robinson, 100% Club members The Graves Team (Susan Graves and Kathy Stallsmith) and Kim Scifres, and Executive Club members Tya Hanna, Steph DiVohl, and Flavia Burrell.
