Community Packs The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley for ‘Beneath the Sole’ Premiere

On a warm Sunday, The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center was a hub of activity as more than 300 people came out to support a new documentary.

Beneath the Sole, a 20-minute film by director Ryan Rust and producer Krystle Grandy, shines a spotlight on Sewickley staple businessman Mario Ulizzi of Sewickley Shoe Repair.

“I think what makes it interesting is the community connection,” says Rust. “He’s been a staple in the Sewickley community. There’s such a deeper story than just fixing shoes. It goes beyond that, obviously—the title is Beneath the Sole, right?”
