On Friday, Feb 4, the Warner Theatre’s Independent Film Festival Weekend opens with Harvest, winner of the CT Film Festival’s 2010 “CT Grown Award” at 7pm followed by an Industry After Party/Fundraiser in the Warner’s main theatre lobby featuring live music, open bar and food by Michael Bick’s Something Fishy catering. Guests will include: Actress Barbara Barrie, Writer/Director Marc Meyers and Producer Jody Girgenti among others. Tickets for this event are $50 for screening and after party or $8.50 for screening only ($7.50 for seniors and students showing ID).
Harvest, written and directed by Marc Meyers is the story of three generations of a family who come together one summer around the eventual passing of the family patriarch. Gathered at the family home, it is a poignant story that is ultimately uplifting, with moments of humor anchoring this realistic portrait of a family hanging on to what was, what is, and to each other. Harvest was filmed entirely in the state of Connecticut.
The cast includes: Academy Award nominee Robert Loggia, Academy Award nominee Barbara Barrie, Jack Carpenter, Arye Gross, Tony Winner Victoria Clark, Peter Friedman, along with Daniel Eric Gold, Adriana Sevan, Kel O’Neill, and Christine Evangelista.
The Warner’s Independent Film Weekend will feature 3 days and nights of over 40 independent films, dozens of industry workshops and panel discussions and three after parties/receptions. For information on all of the weekend events, visit the Warner Theatre website at http://www.warnertheatre.org
