You didn’t need a pop on the head to know that the “Bubble-Rama” benefit for the Shedd Aquarium at the MCA was not a typical film opening: in the goodie bag were fishbowls (with fish); a talking doll; and prosecco, an increasing popular champagne stand-in. Related Midwest, developer of The Peshtigo condos, sponsored the event and the short film based on a story by Chicagoan Elizabeth Crane about an artist’s adventures in luxury living.
