Here’s the nice note from loyal reader Joe. The movie will be screened at the Fine Arts Theatre. The event starts at 7 p.m.
Hi,
Just wanted to pass this information along, and was wondering if you might have time to write something on your blog about it. It’s for a movie screening this Thursday of a feature film I helped make, called Passenger Pigeons.
You can check out the Facebook event here.
More about the movie:
We’re very happy to have an Asheville screening, as part of it was filmed around WNC and features many wonderful local folks! Also, any proceeds we get will go straight into our next feature film, which we’re making in Asheville this September, so come out and enjoy the movie, and help another one get made too!
SYNOPSIS
“A delicate, meditative work set in the colorful Appalachian foothills of Eastern Kentucky, writer/director Stephens’ assured debut interweaves four separate stories around the death of a miner.
Handlebar-mustachioed Moses drives cross-country in his Dodge Dart to bury his brother; Elva and her boyfriend, coalminer Jesse, worry about his future; mining company “suits” Nolan and the soon-to-be-retired Buck deals with corporate fallout; and young activist Robin (played by the director) is taken under the wing of a retired miner.
Intimately shot in Scope and HD, “Passenger Pigeons” suggests both Altman’s “Nashville” and Springsteen’s “Nebraska”.” -BAMcinemaFEST
