PURPLE STATE in the RIVERRUN INTL FILM FEST

Posted by: Purple State of News

We’re thrilled to announce that Purple State of Mind will screen at the 10th Annual River Run International Film Festival on Sunday, April 27th, 2008. River Run is one of the premier film festivals in the Southeastern United States. It takes place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, home of America’s first arts council. Winston-Salem remains a vibrant creative community, home to the North Carolina School of the Arts.

River Run’s highlights will include a tribute to film goddess (and North Carolina native), Pam Grier, a conversation with famed documentarian, Les Blank and an opening night screening of Sundance favorite, Phoebe in Wonderland. Phoebe was directed by Craig Detweiler’s University of Southern California film school classmate, Daniel Barnz.

It is an enchanting film fueled by powerful performances from a cast that includes Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson, and Elle Fanning. Actor Bill Pullman will be honored at River Run’s opening night gala.

Purple State of Mind will play at 4pm on Sunday, April 27th at the Sawtooth Arts Center (the festival headquarters). Unfortunately, John Marks and Craig Detweiler will be in Southern California in connection with the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. In fact, while Purple State is playing in North Carolina, Craig and John will be showing their film to the Ojai Film Society. Ojai is an equally arts friendly community.

If you’re in North Carolina or Southern California on April 27th, check out Purple State of Mind in your local theaters.
