Although we lost the cool post office at 43rd & Speedway, we gained the lovely First Light Books offering coffee, books, and excellent literary events like this. Filmmaker Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) has a new film out this week, The Bikeriders, inspired by Jeff Lyon’s 1968 book of the same name, about an infamous Chicago motorcycle club. Local photographer Bryan Schutmaat visited the set to capture the making of the film with an all-star cast including Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, and Norman Reedus, and the new book Vandals combines those with script excerpts and behind-the-scenes info. See the director and photographer in conversation at this event that includes a copy of the book. – Kat McNevins
