Sedona Film Festival Presents Reach For Me
|
|
Academy Award nominee Seymour Cassel will be in Sedona for a special premiere event along with the producer of the film Charlene Blaine-Schulenburg. The heartwarming and uplifting new film “Reach For Me” starring Seymour Cassel and Alfre Woodard premieres in Sedona on Tuesday, February 9. The film is being presented by the Sedona International Film Festival in this one-night-only special engagement as part of its popular Second Tuesday Cinema Series. There will be two screenings of the film at 4 and 7 p.m. at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres. It’s never too late to live, to laugh, to love. That is the message in this award-winning film that has been inspiring audiences all around the nation. “This is such a coup for our festival and our audience to have an Oscar-nominated actor here to present the film and host the Q&A discussions,” said film festival director Patrick Schweiss. “The film is moving and life-affirming and sure to touch the hearts of all who are lucky enough to see it.” Dying is hell, at least for Alvin (Seymour Cassel), a terminally ill widower confined to his hospice bed with nothing to chew on but bitter memories. Old and wonderfully irascible, he correspondingly makes life hell for everyone else around him. Alvin just wants some peace and quiet in his last days. His wish, however, is not granted when a young, vibrant and ironically full of life Kevin becomes Alvin's hospice roommate. Through this "odd couple" relationship, Alvin learns that it’s not the minutes in your life, it’s the moments in your life that matter. The world observed from his hospice bed provides the final proving ground where Alvin learns to make the most of the time he has, and discover the love he never knew was so close at hand. This is a heartwarming, uplifting, and very funny story of living life to its fullest. Actor-turned-director LeVar Burton explores the age-old quandary of how we greet our final days – and who will be there with us at the end. A stirring, life-affirming drama, the excellent ensemble cast includes Cassel, Alfre Woodard, Adrienne Barbeau, Johnny Whitworth and Lacey Chabert in beautifully crafted performances refreshingly free of false sentimentality. “This is the perfect star-studded way for us to head into our 16th annual film festival,” said Schweiss. “Having a star of Mr. Cassel’s caliber here truly kicks off our festival celebration in style. And the film is truly moving, as are many of the films in our festival lineup, so it sets a very nice tone.” “Reach for Me” will be shown at Harkins Sedona Six Theatres on Tuesday, February 9, at 4 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 or $8 for Film Sedona members, and will be available starting at 3 p.m. that day in the Harkins lobby. Cash or checks only are accepted. Film Sedona members can purchase tickets in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office, 1785 W. Hwy. 89A, Suite 2B, or by calling 928-282-1177.
